What type of SCREW is for the SSD back cover on the Surface Pro 8?

I know Torx 3 screwdriver is required to remove the SSD, but if the retention screw is lost, what exact size screw requirements do I need to obtain a replacement?

I don't know the exact size.

For minimal cost why not just buy a selection of small screws - it doesn't have to be Torx as Philips is fine.

Try them gently until one screws in easily.

The diameter of the screw is m 1.2. The tricky part is to find a fastener so that the screw can hold the SSD. So far I only could find Screws which were too long. I shortned one to fit correctly but the problem with the fastner still gives me headache.

If your Screw Strips, like the one of my GF did, you will need a M 1.2 x 2 Screw and a washer to secure the SSD again. I got mine here: https://online-schrauben.de/shop/

They aren't cheap but the fit, aren't too long and work properly, unlike the ones you get from Amazon.

The dimensions I used are:

DIN 84 ST M 1,2 x 2 (Screw)

ISO 7089 A2 200HV 1,6 (Washer)

Have a good one guys.
