    I'm installing a 980m in my Clevo p150SM-A and the screws from the x-bracket on my 870m are too narrow for the x-bracket on the 980m. They just slide right into the holes and don't grab at all. Help with this will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Matt

    I still haven't found the screw size measurements, but I ended up finding a digital thermometer I have with 4 screws that worked.
