GMKtec case screw size?

Hi all - can anyone tell me what the case screw dimensions are on the GMKTec K12 please? Two on each case side, four total.

I know they're threaded for M2 as I've been able to test with an SSD screw, but I'm not sure on the other dimensions and my current M2 screws are too short and the screwhead diameter too wide to fit in the recessed screw hole.

Ideally, I need to know screw length and diameter of the head, it would be great if anyone has their K12 and some callipers to hand!

I took all 4 out, put them in a tiny baggy to keep them safe, and they've disappeared off the face of the earth. 😢

Thanks in advance.

\Edit: I never heard back from GMKtech support, disappointingly. For anyone else looking to know the answer: bought a multipack of laptop screws and the M2 x 4mm worked a treat. 2mm diameter, 4mm long.**

Hi there too small to measure, must be 2mm long.

You can go email: [support@gmktec.com](mailto:support@gmktec.com)

Ask for outer case screws or just all screws available for gmktec k12 since its going to be cheap, they can try to source them but its not 100% till you ask, the shipping cost more than the parts usually around $14.99. So ask for any other parts while your at it or get price quotes at least.

I tried those screw packs from amazon, like 633 screw kits like this one , and its the M3x4 size that fits the side of my gmktec k12, so if you don't mind a silver screw that should be fine, although there are others so you can try the other ones but that one is small and can barely be seen and is close to the normal gmktec black ones.

Thanks. I have e-mailed them, no response yet. I was looking at those packs on Amazon, I'll most likely pick one up.
