Hp Pavilion 690-0073w
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hp pavilion 690-0073w M.2 screw stripped, then broke. 
The upgrade of that m.2 did not go so well.
It would have been better if the old m.2 card had broken , with its replacement sitting right there.
I'm Looking to replace stand off and the m.2 holding screw. 
Where could I find the sizes for them or replacements?

@TheNairb , welcome to the Community.

 

Your best option will be a local computer shop or BestBuy's, Geek Squad.  The Geek Squad repairs and upgrades a lot of HP computers.  They are a good starting point!

Ill also add, M.2 screws are standard. You can go with a standard set.

Here is an example...

Also, if you do it yourself... Do NOT torque them down. They only need to be snug.
