[SOLVED] M.2 spacer not installed

[NickPG44]

Hello, I installed a m.2 in my pc but I'm dumb and i forgot the spacer and now i don't really want to disassemble the pc to put it on. My question is: Is there any problem if i leave the m.2 installed with just the screw or does the spacer have to be put on?

Spacer? Do you mean the standoff underneath that keeps it spaced off the motherboard? Yes. You need it.

Ok thanks, I will install it, but what can happen if you don't?

If any of the traces or solder points touch it could short and damage components.

Oh that's bad, I got it installed in the meantime. Thanks for saving my pc )))

Doesn't the screw screw into the spacer? that little 2mm long screw would not make it to the motherboard.

Mine made it, it was a bit inclined but it worked before installing the standoff/spacer ))
