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). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- 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: the source describes a countersunk (flat) head, and those are measured overall, from the top of the head to the tip.
- The record states 2.1 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- 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.
