Tamagotchi Screw Size Q&A thread!

[Bentobuff]

I just realized I have an important tamagotchi superpower... I can measure vpet screw sizes!
I don't own each tama out there but if you need a specific replacement screw for your tama please ask here. If I have the same tama(or one likely to share screw sizes, like a vintage one or connection) I can measure it and give you the relevant details!
Idk if it'd be against the rules to share a place to buy em, but if a mod tells me it's OK, I'll do so.

I’m glad I found this post! I just got a tamagotchi from my sister, and the back was only held on by tape! As far as I can tell from a bit of research, it’s a v3, but I could be wrong.

I've personally found the cover stays out rather well without a screw, but I'll take mine and check it during a work break tomorrow (I took today off to tackle a bunch of housework)

Ahhhhh I can't believe I missed this! I'll bring one of my connections and check that too!!!

Update:
Bad news, turns out the thread checker ends at sizes a LOT larger than tamas
I'll have to check em the old fashioned way. Calipers and a thread gage. That said there's not enough time left in my break to dive into that, so I'll leave my tama and spare screw at work so I remember it check them on Monday

Do you have a DNA Fish? I’ve been meaning to look for a replacement screw.

I forgot to mention, it is a V3. That said, the screw appears to be standard(as in imperial measurements) and I couldn't find the thread gauge for standard to save my life

Hey I just bought vintage Osutchi & Mesutchi online. One of the screws of the back lid is kind of worn out. I managed to get it out but I want to avoid putting back in as I am scared to then not get it out again. So I would like to replace it straight away. Does anyone know which screws they use? They are VERY tiny.

I don't have one of my own(yet), but judging from photos, it appears to be the standard vintage tama screws. Japanyouwant carries replacements.

Thank you I've read on some other forums that apparently they have smaller screws than the other vintages and they are indeed very tiny However, JYW answered that they would fit. So I am just gonna try with them due to lack of other options ;-)

I'm sure JYW has tested them. That said, you should be able to include a buyers note about how you're excited to use them to run your osu and mesu. JYW should make doubly sure they're the right ones for the job, in that instance.

Any idea on the battery backplate screw size for the ON?
