Toshiba Satellite L10 screw size
M2 / M2.5 · 3 to 6 mm long
Our records put Toshiba Satellite L10 on M2 and M2.5 screws in lengths from 3 to 6 mm.
There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including heat sink (M2) and display (binding) (M2.5).
Head and drive, as the sources state them: binding head.
2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (xdevs.com).
An M2 screw is 2 mm in diameter with a 0.4 mm pitch, tapped with a 1.6 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

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 M2 screw measures about 2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M2.5, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- 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: for binding head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The records span 3–6 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M2 heads take PH0 for Phillips and T6 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 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 / M2.5
- The standard M.2 SSD screw is M2 x 3mm, but some laptops and handhelds use non-standard lengths or head shapes.
- M2 (2.00mm, 0.4mm pitch) is NOT the same as #2-56 UNC (2.18mm) — close enough to cross-thread and strip if forced.
- M2.5 and M3 look the same to the naked eye — you need calipers on the shank to tell them apart.
- M2.5 pitch is 0.45mm vs M3's 0.5mm and M2's 0.4mm — forcing the wrong one strips plastic bosses instantly.

- M2 × 3 mm for heat sink; M2.5 × 6 mm for display (binding).
- How long are the screws in Toshiba Satellite L10?
- The records range from 3 to 6 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 Toshiba Satellite L10?

- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M2?
