HP Compaq Presario R4000 screw size

M2 / M3 · 3 to 15 mm long

If you are replacing a screw on HP Compaq Presario R4000, the thread is M2 and M3 in lengths from 3 to 15 mm.

There are 17 separate fitment records for it, including heat sink (qty 4, shoulder, Phillips) (M2), display (qty 13, Phillips) (M2) and keyboard (qty 4, Phillips) (M2), plus 14 more in the table below.

Head and drive, as the sources state them: shoulder screw head and Phillips drive.

17 of the 17 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (tim.id.au).

For reference, M2 is 2 mm across the threads at 0.4 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

How to check the screw before you buy

  1. 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).
  2. Diameter: across the threads an M2 screw measures about 2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M3, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
  3. 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.
  4. Length: for shoulder screw screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
  5. The records span 3–15 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
  6. Driver: the source names a Phillips drive. For comparison, standard M2 heads take PH0 (Phillips) or T6 (Torx), or a 1.5 mm hex key.
  7. 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 / M3

  • Xbox Series X internal chassis screws are M3, not M2 (confirmed on iFixit) — a widespread misconception.
  • The standard M.2 SSD screw is M2 x 3mm, but some laptops and handhelds use non-standard lengths or head shapes.
  • PC cases mix M3 (fans, optical and 2.5in drives) with imperial 6-32 (3.5in drives, motherboard standoffs) - don't force one into the other.
  • Thorlabs' 16mm cage system standard plates use dual 4-40 (UNC) and M3 taps on the same plate (e.g., SP01), so metric and imperial fasteners are both valid depending on the region/kit purchased.

Questions about HP Compaq Presario R4000 screws

What size screw does HP Compaq Presario R4000 use?
M2 × 11 mm for heat sink (qty 4, shoulder, Phillips); M2 × 15 mm for display (qty 13, Phillips); M2 × 15 mm for keyboard (qty 4, Phillips); M2 × 15 mm for unspecified (qty 10, Phillips); M2 × 3 mm for palm rest (qty 2, Phillips); M2 × 4 mm for fan (qty 3, Phillips); M2 × 4 mm for keyboard (qty 4, Phillips); M2 × 4 mm for speaker (qty 2, Phillips); M2 × 4 mm for unspecified (Phillips); M2 × 7 mm for chassis/frame (qty 6, Phillips); M2 × 7 mm for display (qty 4, Phillips); M2 × 7 mm for hard drive (qty 2, Phillips); M2 × 7 mm for memory (Phillips); M2 × 7 mm for optical drive (Phillips); M2 × 7 mm for system board (qty 4, Phillips); M2 × 7 mm for unspecified (qty 5, Phillips); M3 × 4.5 mm for .
How long are the screws in HP Compaq Presario R4000?
The records range from 3 to 15 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
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 HP Compaq Presario R4000?
The source lists a Phillips 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 HP Compaq Presario R4000?
TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M2 x 3mm and M2 x 4mm, which match lengths in the records above.
