Dell XPS 13 9310 screw size
M1.2 / M1.6 / M2 / M2.5 · 2 to 4.5 mm long
Dell XPS 13 9310 takes M1.2, M1.6, M2 and M2.5 metric screws in lengths from 2 to 4.5 mm.
There are 8 separate fitment records for it, including display-assembly cable holder to system board (M1.2), battery to palm-rest/keyboard assembly (M1.6) and fans (i3 configuration) to system board (M1.6), plus 5 more in the table below.
8 of the 8 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (dl.dell.com).
An M1.2 screw is 1.2 mm in diameter with a 0.25 mm pitch, tapped with a 0.95 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #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 M1.6 / M2 / M2.5, 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 2–4.5 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 / M1.6 / M2 / M2.5
- M1.2 and M1.4 look identical in an eyeglass repair kit — the wrong one strips soft acetate or metal hinges.
- Heavier metal sunglass hinges use M1.6 while acetate frames use M1.4 or M1.2; you cannot tell without calipers.
- 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.

- How long are the screws in Dell XPS 13 9310?
- The records range from 2 to 4.5 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- What is the thread pitch of an M1.2 screw?
- 0.25 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M1.2 machine screws. The tap drill is 0.95 mm and the normal clearance hole is 1.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Dell XPS 13 9310?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M1.2, Phillips heads normally take PH000 / JIS 00 and Torx heads T1–T2.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M1.2?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #0-80 UNF (1.52 mm) is the closest imperial screw, but it is bigger — not a substitute. Use a true M1.2 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for Dell XPS 13 9310?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M1.2 x 2mm and M2 x 3mm, which match lengths in the records above.
