According to a tweet found by @urs_lesse, FP support will not provide replacement screws.
I ordered some screws for the FP3 and one set also contains M1.4x3.5mmm what would be the size oft the FP4 screws. However, the measurement of the screws seem a bit odd, because the indicated lenght seem to be the total lenght and not the thread only (further info here). As I have no FP4 and nothing to properly measure those mini screes, is there anyone with an FP4 who would be willing to test the screws to see if they fit, then I would send a few?
Hmmm… measuring yours does not help to find out if the potiential replacement screws I have here would fit. The size of M1.4x3.5mm is from the FP tweet so this should not be the question, still it doesnt harm to verify
In general, the length of screws with countersunk head (flat on top, cone-shaped, tapering towards the thread, meant to more or less disappear flush in the component) is measured including the head. Screws with a raised head (cylinder head, filister head, pan head etc., which stays outside of the component) are measured without the head.
I am trying to find some screws for my fp4 but i am not finding any. Did someone find a website. I saw the amazon link and they have stock but i dont feel like spening money on 100 screws, i need like 4:p
i used these to google screws.
Thread Size: M1.4
Threaded Length: 4.5mm
Head: Thin Pan Head Phillips Drive
It seems they usually come as 4 or 5 and not 4,5 (Am I doing something wrong?)
even phoneshops don’t have the screw
Fairphone will soon offer FP5 screws. Let’s wait for the specifications, but at least the silver screws might be a fit for the FP4 (modules, but perhaps not the screen) as well, see my photo here:
ich habe es bei Aliexpress bestellt und die passen. Irritierenderweise hat es auf Aliexpress nicht für jeden Schraubentyp das passende Bild, aber man erhält die richtigen Schrauben, wenn man das entsprechende Feld anwählt: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32486381834.html
