Dell Latitude E6400 Optical Drive Replacement this one says 2.8mm

https://www.parts-people.com/blog/2011/0... then this one says is a 2mmx 3mm which is M2x3mm

Hi @chris fetter I saw the 2.8mm. The blog link wouldn't work for me. The M2x3mm looks likely. If I were you I would just purchase a small assortment of metric screws and gently try until one fit.
