I own an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53.

The laptop I received had overly tightened screws, leaving me with no choice but to remove it completely. Where can I purchase replacement screws for this model? Are there any affordable options available?

I'm searching for the small stainless steel ones. What dimensions should they be and is material important? From a forum post about a similar model, it mentioned M2*4. But I couldn't find anything online with the exact same screw. This kit lists M2*4 but uses "Alloy steel" and is black.

Irrespective of their composition, a screw remains a screw for your laptop, whether it's made of alloy, steel, or copper.

You're asking if a heatsink is necessary and whether the CPU's heat could affect screws or cause electrical issues.

No, it does not get that hot.

Yes, it does matter why screws are made from various materials. This distinction helps in identifying them more effectively.

Hardness designed to prevent deformation and removal. If heated sufficiently to warp the screws, it would completely melt nearby non-metallic materials such as PCBs and cases.

Yes, I understand the materials typically used for external and internal screws, as well as heatsinks. It would indeed be more crucial for heatsink screws to have greater hardness.

I do not know the specific alloy.
Something something steel.
Cheapness comes into play here.

It is necessary to reach 600°C (1100°F) in order to melt a copper screw.

Hi, I wanted to clarify without creating another thread. For most laptop heatsinks, are screws only meant to secure the heat sinks? They don't add much pressure, and fully tightening them doesn't change that. I also noticed there are sticky pads on the heatsink that touch the dies around it, which are supposed to be thermally conductive and help keep the heatsink in place. Do you know what these dies are?
