Product: Pavilion dm1-4402sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I'm trying to repair a Pavilion laptop whose screen hinges have come away from the base. It looks like the feet on the base have partly broken off, so that the screws on the hinges have nothing to grip on to. I was thinking it might be possible to fix by using longer screws so they can go into what's left of the feet. In the manual, it says "Remove the two Phillips PM2.0×5.7 screws that secure the display assembly to the computer".  What does that mean? Is 5.7 the length? How would I search for longer screws of the same type?

 

Thanks
