Size of motherboard screws ?

LeCaravage · 12 October 2023, 15:16

Hi,

Context : Amiga 500 OCS.

As already said, I'm zero at electronics and do-it-yourself.
I need to take off my motherboard from case.
I have no tools. So I need to buy some in order to make it.

Here the tool I'd like to buy :

The tool in question is at 11:23.

So my question : what is the size of the screws, so I could buy the good tool (no too small or too big size in diameter).

Thanks,

Buy set of precision bits where there is Torx 10, 15, 20 - it should be enough

Search for so called secure Torx -- the are more universal than regular - in secure Torx inner part is empty - hole exist.

They are called 4-40 threaded hex jack screws, any hex socket wrench should be fine - if i recall correctly 5 or 5.5mm works fine too (no force is required)
