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 M1.6 screw measures about 1.6 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M2 / M2.5 / M3, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.35 mm from one thread crest to the next (28.57 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 1.7–25 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M1.6 heads take PH00 for Phillips and T4–T5 for Torx, and a 1.5 mm hex key for socket heads; 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 M1.6 is about 12-20 N·cm into metal threads and 6-10 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M1.6 / M2 / M2.5 / M3
- Headphone hinge screw sizes are usually quoted from screwdriver bit size, not an actual thread spec - measure before buying.
- Xbox Series X internal chassis screws are M3, not M2 (confirmed on iFixit) — a widespread misconception.
- Dell/HP/Lenovo manuals often list screws only by torque or head shape, so community teardowns are needed for diameter.
- Part numbers can embed a thread code (e.g. ifm fibre fittings with 'M3') that refers to a fitting thread, not a chassis screw.

Questions about Lenovo ThinkPad 385 screws
- What size screw does Lenovo ThinkPad 385 use?
- M1.6 × 4 mm for screw kit (qty 2); M1.6 × 4 mm for unspecified (qty 2, flat, black); M2 × 1.7 mm for optical drive (qty 4); M2 × 10 mm for screw kit (qty 3); M2 × 10 mm for unspecified (qty 3, yellow); M2 × 14 mm for card reader (qty 2, yellow); M2 × 14 mm for screw kit (qty 5); M2 × 14 mm for unspecified (qty 1); M2 × 16 mm for unspecified (qty 2); M2 × 2.4 mm for optical drive (qty 4); M2 × 3.7 mm for display (qty 2); M2 × 3.7 mm for unspecified (qty 2, flat); M2 × 4 mm for hinge (qty 2); M2 × 4 mm for screw kit (qty 5); M2 × 4 mm for unspecified (qty 2); M2 × 4.3 mm for display (qty 2); M2 × 4.3 mm for display back cover (qty 6, flat); M2 × 4.3 mm for hinge (qty 4); M2 × 5 mm for display .
- How long are the screws in Lenovo ThinkPad 385?
- The records range from 1.7 to 25 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- What is the thread pitch of an M1.6 screw?
- 0.35 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M1.6 machine screws; a 0.2 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 1.25 mm and the normal clearance hole is 1.8 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Lenovo ThinkPad 385?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M1.6, Phillips heads normally take PH00 and Torx heads T4–T5; socket heads take a 1.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M1.6?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #1-72 UNF (1.85 mm) is larger; there is no true imperial equivalent. Use a true M1.6 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for Lenovo ThinkPad 385?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M1.6 x 4mm, M2 x 2.5mm and M2 x 4mm, which match lengths in the records above.
