How do I order a tiny screw that hold the back stand to my Surface Go 2 tablet?

To order a tiny screw that attaches the back stand to your Surface Go 2 tablet, you will need to identify the specific part number for the screw. The relevant screw for the kickstand is typically a Torx-Plus screw, specifically the 3IP (Torx-Plus) screws that come with the new kickstand FRU (Field Replaceable Unit). You can check with authorized Microsoft service centers or parts suppliers that deal with Surface devices to obtain the correct screws. Make sure to specify that you need the screws for the kickstand of the Surface Go 2 to ensure you receive the right part.

Hi Ed,

If you need that tiny screw for the Surface Go 2 kickstand, you have a few practical options:

Contact Microsoft Support first. They can arrange a repair or provide the correct part through an authorized service center. This ensures you get the exact screw type and avoid compatibility issues.

If you prefer DIY, look for Surface Go 2 hinge repair kits online. These kits usually include the screws you need. Popular sources are Amazon and eBay, where sellers offer original or compatible hinge assemblies with screws. Search for “Surface Go 2 kickstand hinge replacement kit” to find listings.

Another option is to visit a local electronics repair shop. They often stock small screws or can match the size and thread if you bring the device.

Here’s how to identify the correct screw before ordering:

Check the size and type: The kickstand screw on a Surface Go 2 is typically a Torx or Torx-Plus type with a very small head. You can confirm by using a precision screwdriver set and seeing which bit fits snugly.

Measure the length and thread: Use a caliper or ruler to measure the screw length in millimeters. For thread type, compare it with standard metric screws (usually M1.4 or M1.6 for tablets).

Look for model-specific compatibility: Search for “Surface Go 2 kickstand hinge screw” and ensure the listing mentions your model number (1901, 1926, or 1927).

If you don’t have the original screw, you can check teardown guides or repair videos for specs. Sites like iFixit often list screw dimensions for Surface devices.

Regards,
