Im having laptop victus 15 fb0002na. Recently attended repair service where my screws was lost. I’ve already ordered the screws for bottom case but i also need to know the type of screws for heating sink (tpn q278/q279), i just remember it was black big screw with sharp ending, but i didn’t see any similar on internet. Help me identify it please.

@yrickman, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
For your HP Victus 15-fb0002na (TPN-Q278/Q279), the heatsink screws are indeed different from the bottom case screws. Based on your description "black, large, with a sharp end" it sounds like you're referring to the heatsink mounting screws, which are typically Phillips M2.0 × 5.0 screws. (Sometimes M2.0 x 2.0/2.5/4.0 screws based on the component)
And since you have already ordered the screws, please follow the below steps,
Installation Tip:
When reinstalling the heatsink:
- Clean off old thermal paste.
- Apply new thermal paste.
- Tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern to ensure even pressure.
If you're unsure about the exact screw type or need a visual reference, I recommend contacting HP Support directly or visiting an HP Authorized Service Center.HP® Service Center Locator - United Kingdom | HP® Support
You may refer to this document - Maintenance and Service Guide
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
