Trying to install a Samsung 990 PRO with heatsink in the second slot on a PO5-655. There is a screw hole but no screw. I was expecting a screw to hold down the end of the SSD…should there be one there?

Thanks.

    Usually in the Predator laptop range these screws are provided and listed in their SGs, but in your Predator Orion PO5-655 service guide screw list this screw is not listed, so it must not be provided by Acer. But these screws can be bought from any electronic parts shop or online, the screw details is an M2.0*3.0mm like listed below. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    This is the M.2 screws used for the M.2 drive and the WLAN card in the PO5-650 model which is the same as your PO5-655 model, so buy this screw below and use the Acer part number to search for it online or buy it in a store.

    They often only provide the screw for the drive that comes with the system. The screws are readily available online and are either an M2 or M2.5 with a wide head. The last time I needed one (for my PO5-640) I bought a cheat set of M.2 screws off Amazon that included both sizes.
