DV6 3250us

Hi! I have a DV6 3250us that I just upgraded and will be giving away to someone who needs it. The issue? I took pictures during disassembly, but now that I am putting it back together, the screws PM2.5x5 and PM2.5x6 look so similar in the images I have no clue which went where.  And to make matters worse, the Maintenance guide for the 3250 does not state screw sizes, so I have to try to guestimate where each goes. 

 

I cannot afford to damage this laptop, so am hoping I can be directed toward: (1) a more advanced assembly guide for this model, or (2) get assistance via the image I have attached below.  In a way it is like a puzzle, but the numbers just aren't matching up.

 

Thank you for any and all help you can provide!!!

There is no better written guide than the Maintenance and Service Manual. 

 

Unfortunately you are correct that the Manual:

 

Manual

 

does not state screw sizes. You might pick it up from a video:

Unfortunately screw management is the key to successful laptop repair and if you have videos you have to go back and review them and try to see what screw came from where.

Thank you!

 

These helped figure out the placement of the silver screws. So I'm getting there! I have come accross a lot of videos that are in Russian/not english as a result of seeing your videos and I think I've observed the correct placement on the outside. 

 

However, I have ZERO clue where the 14mm screw goes... it almost seems too long to even go anywhere.

 

Thank you again, and once I figure this out I will post a solution with diagram for others.
