What screws I have to buy for keyboard replacement

[Gleba]

The guy from computer service said that I have to buy screws for my laptop keyboard replacement, because they don't have that type of screws, and he don't know exactly which I have to buy, I am a little bit confused and don't understund why he can't use the same screws from old keyboard, anyway, I found a pack of 300 different size screws (each size * 20 screws) (M2 * 3 M2 * 3 M2 * 4 M2 * 7 M2 * 8 M2 * 10 M2.5 * 3 M2.5 * 4 M2.5 * 5 M2.5 * 7 M2.5 * 8 M2.5 * 10 M2.5 * 12 M3 * 3 M3 * 4 )

is it enough? 😄
or can you help me  to find out exactly which one I have to buy?

Thanks!

Hi,

If you look on page 17 of service manual you can see that in your model the keyboard comes as part of top cover and the whole PC needs to be disassembled to replace the keyboard/top cover. All the screws should be able to be used on the new keyboard. I do not know which screws the technician needs. However you can buy screw kit for the whole PC. The part number is  857473-001
