What screws do I need?

Post by joe7dust » Sat Jun 23, 2018 2:48 pm

Hey sorry for the double post, just noticed that I accidentally used the Other projects subforum....

I bought a set from wermy, I think it may have been a hybrid of more than one version (got a deal on some leftovers) but I have no idea where the screws are or what exact dimensions they should be. I think even one of the guides I've read the parts did not even require screws.

I know the bezel that frames the screen has at least 2 screw holes in it, and that is about it... Do standard hardware stores or local shops even carry small ones of the correct size? (RIP Radio Shack... :cry: )

M2x8 for the base and face plate and m2x3 for the screen bezel, get a laptop screw set on ebay or amazon.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

Damn I was afraid of that. Thanks for the confirmation and helping me find another good candidate for something cheap in bulk I should order and part out kits of.
