These are the screws used in the XO laptop, and their locations. As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread the number immediately after the M is the rough diameter, followed by the pitch after the first x. Two of our screws have a precise length in english units, but not metric units.

  • (A) M2x.4 x 4mm - the common blackened ones. There are a lot of these - use anywhere a specific type of screw is not specified.
  • (B) M2x.4 x 2mm - the short shiny ones. There are 4 of them. 2 of these hold the keyboard controller circuit board in place, the other two help screw the keyboard to the keyboard bezel. Holes for these screws are marked with this symbol: Small-screw-icon.jpg.
  • (C) M2x.4 x 6mm - the long shiny ones. There are 6 of them. Four are used to attach the back cover (over the motherboard). Two are used to hold the hinge cover together, one on each side.
