    If it's still under warranty, click this link. Choose your country. Click support link at top of country page. Enter machine's serial number id (SNID) and arrange for warranty repair service by the contact methods provided. If it's not under warranty, you can probably use a two-part epoxy like JBWeld to repair the plastic screw anchor.

    Those tiny brass thread inserts if pulled loose are very difficult to glue back as most of the plastic housing (star) at the base is also gone/broken and it will be next to impossible to line up the tiny brass insert with the screw hole without any insert guide (been there done that), Even if you manage to glue the insert back It will be too deep for the screw to reach (need longer screws). I counted at least 9 screws on your model to secure the back cover so if one came loose the other 8 screws will still be able to firmly close the back of your laptop (I got 3 screws missing on my laptop). If also the small plastic catches that snap the back tightly shut broke from the back cover, you need to replace the back cover ($20 eBay).
