Hi,

I pulled my laptop apart a year ago to sort out a few maintenance tasks and while putting it back together the little metal fixings that the screws/bolts fix into managed to fall out. They sit in the holes that the screw connects to but I have no idea what their called. I've looked up "Laptop housing fixings" but it just comes up with screws.

Any idea what they're called? Laptop is an Asus N55SF

Yes I think the 4th one looks like it.


Cheers.

Brass inserts? Um, I don't think they're meant to just fall out! Usually that happens when the plastic gets old and splits. Might need to do some rebuilding work with epoxy.
