Dell Inspiron 15 7580 screw size
M1.2 / M1.4 / M2 / M2.5 / M3 · 1.5 to 5 mm long
Our records put Dell Inspiron 15 7580 on M1.2, M1.4, M2, M2.5 and M3 screws in lengths from 1.5 to 5 mm.
There are 15 separate fitment records for it, including keyboard (qty 8) (M1.2), keyboard (qty 26) (M1.4) and system board (qty 4) (M2), plus 12 more in the table below.
15 of the 15 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (dl.dell.com).
For reference, M1.2 is 1.2 mm across the threads at 0.25 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #0-80 UNF (1.52 mm) is the closest imperial screw, but it is bigger — not a substitute.

How to check the screw before you buy
- A screw that is even 1 mm too long in a laptop base can push into the keyboard, battery or a board trace, so match the length position by position.
- Diameter: across the threads an M1.2 screw measures about 1.2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M1.4 / M2 / M2.5 / M3, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.25 mm from one thread crest to the next (40 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The records span 1.5–5 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M1.2 heads take PH000 / JIS 00 for Phillips and T1–T2 for Torx; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M1.2 is about 5-8 N·cm into metal threads and 3-5 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M1.2 / M1.4 / M2 / M2.5 / M3
- Framework lists both M1.2 x 3.0 silver and M1.6 x 3.0 black expansion-card screws; they look identical in the tray but are not interchangeable.
- Dental implant screws (M1.4/M1.6) are proprietary per system — Bredent, NeoBiotech, Nobel and Straumann are not interchangeable even at the same nominal size.
- The standard M.2 SSD screw is M2 x 3mm, but some laptops and handhelds use non-standard lengths or head shapes.
- Dell/HP/Lenovo manuals often list screws only by torque or head shape, so community teardowns are needed for diameter.
