Anyone know the thread size of the 1.8mm screw mentioned here? Mine went missing, and I need to get a replacement. I've got a bunch of tiny screw kits, but none of them have fit!

My apologies for missing those! Hopefully one of us iFixit-ers will contribute to this guide later on, perhaps even me if I come across another 8560w, to correct what I missed.

Thank you for providing your feedback.

I apologize for my waste of your time. However, if my guide was as terrible as you say, you could have contributed to the guide instead of leaving such a comment. It would have helped more people.

Regardless, I do agree with your point, and I do not know why I had stopped the guide this early. I usually go in-depth, and have even corrected others’ guides.

I will do better next time.

Most likely it will work, considering they are both of dm4-2000 series, however, I cannot say for sure. I would recommend looking at the pictures in the listing of the item, and comparing them with what you have.

I love the easy-to-fix design of these older Dell Latitudes!

I’m happy that my guide helped you!

I was able to do this repair on this exact model of laptop without dismantling the bottom half of the laptop. It’s not hard at all, all you’ve got to do is just separate the bezel from the lid of the laptop and pull it out from behind the base. It saves lots of trouble of dismantling. You can’t replace the hinges this way, though, but you can certainly replace the LCD itself without dismantling the bottom half of the laptop.
