Hi everyone,
I own an ASUS TUF FX505GE gaming laptop. Recently I opened my laptop panel to re-paste the thermal paste and found that my screws were stripped. I don't know the screw size. please help me ASAP. ( I don't know if its m2 x 3 mm size or m2.5 x 3mm size). Also, how do I screw them back in and how to apply equal pressure? so that the paste doesn't squeeze out. I am planning on applying Noctua NT-h1.


P.S: It wasn't me who applied that thermal paste. The service engineer applied it.
