Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-e0000 IDS Base Model
Microsoft Windows 11

I've had an adventure with a cat while upgrading my laptop. I use duct tape to keep all my screws in order as I assemble/reassemble things. This time was no different as I was adding a 2nd SSD and better thermal paste to the cpu/gpu. I left the room to get some alcohol and when I returned, my strip of duct tape was gone. So was the cat. I searched and couldn't find it. Later. the cat appeared sans duct tape which meant it was someplace outside.

 

This brings me here. All those screws are lost and I need replacements. The good news is I know what screws I need. The bad news is I don't think I can only get the screws from HP without buying the parts they secure. I know there are places that sell screws kits and sets for older laptops but I couldn't find any for the Victus specifically. 

 

The screws needed are:

Bottom cover
eight Phillips M2.0 × 4.0 screws

Battery
six Phillips M2.0 × 3.0 screws

Heat sink
two Phillips M2.0 × 5.0 screws

 

Does anyone know where I can obtain these?

You have to buy a Screw Kit (full set) part # M54730-001 which is N/A from HP Part Store right now

You have to use part # and search on internet. I saw it on eBay for $13. HP won't allow me to post the link, please search yourself
