Surface Pro 11 SSD retaining screw

The documented Surface Pro 11 SSD retaining screw is an M1.2 × L1.5 3IP Torx Plus screw, Microsoft part number 13NL-5JN0V01/02; Microsoft documents it as supplied with the removable SSD replacement rather than as a separately sold part.^1^

Buying the replacement

1. Check Microsoft’s Surface repair parts store for the removable SSD component for your exact Surface Pro 11 model. Genuine parts are sold through Microsoft and iFixit, but availability varies by country.^2^
2. Review the product contents before ordering. Microsoft’s repair workflow lists the screw as a collateral item accompanying the rSSD:
   • Specification: M1.2 × L1.5
   • Drive type: 3IP Torx Plus
   • Part number: 13NL-5JN0V01/02
3. The official Surface Pro 11 parts list does not list this screw as a separate retail component.^3^ If neither Microsoft nor iFixit offers it separately, buying the applicable rSSD replacement may be the only documented Microsoft purchasing route.
4. Optionally ask Microsoft Surface Support whether a loose screw is currently available, quoting the specification and part number above. Treat this as an availability inquiry—Microsoft does not document standalone ordering for this screw.

For a Surface Pro 11 with 5G, Microsoft specifies the same M1.2 × L1.5 3IP screw and also lists alternate part number M1332042/43-001.^4^

Installation notes

Use a 3IP Torx Plus driver, not a standard Torx bit. Before working, fully power off and discharge the device, disconnect power, and use electrostatic-discharge protection. Install the SSD into its connector at approximately a 15-degree angle, lower it into position, and tighten the screw only until snug to avoid damaging the small threads.^1^

Damage caused during self-repair is not covered by Microsoft’s limited warranty; if the correct screw cannot be sourced or the threads are damaged, use a Microsoft Authorized Service Provider or an out-of-warranty repair order.^2^
