What size screw does Framework Laptop 13 WiFi / storage / audio board screw use?

M2 × 3 mm for T5 head, 4.5mm head dia.

How long are the screws in Framework Laptop 13 WiFi / storage / audio board screw?

The record gives 3 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.

What is the thread pitch of an M2 screw?

0.4 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M2 machine screws; a 0.25 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 1.6 mm and the normal clearance hole is 2.4 mm.

What screwdriver do I need for Framework Laptop 13 WiFi / storage / audio board screw?

The source lists a Torx T5 drive. Standard M2 heads otherwise take PH0 (Phillips) or T6 (Torx), or a 1.5 mm hex key.

Can I use an imperial screw instead of M2?

No. Imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable. Use a true M2 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.

Where can I buy replacement screws for Framework Laptop 13 WiFi / storage / audio board screw?

TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M2 x 3mm, which matches the length in the records above.

How to check the screw before you buy

Laptop covers and brackets often mix two or three lengths of the same thread, so lay the screws out in the order they came out (a magnetic mat or a sheet of paper with the hole pattern drawn on it works).
Diameter: across the threads an M2 screw measures about 2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
Pitch: 0.4 mm from one thread crest to the next (25 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 record states 3 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
Driver: the source names a Torx T5 drive. For comparison, standard M2 heads take PH0 (Phillips) or T6 (Torx), or a 1.5 mm hex key.
Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M2 is about 25-40 N·cm into metal threads and 12-20 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M2

The standard M.2 SSD screw is M2 x 3mm, but some laptops and handhelds use non-standard lengths or head shapes.
Framework 13 and 16 use five thread families (M1.2 to M2.5) with overlapping lengths; buy Framework's own fastener kit rather than generic M2 screws.
