Hello everyone,

I'm trying to figure out what this part would be called and if it can be ordered. It seems like it is a washer nut, but I am unsure. It is used with a screw to hold the left hinge of the laptop onto the laptop itself. However, this piece is broken off and is no longer connected to the laptop, meaning I can no longer attach the left hinge onto the laptop. I was actually thinking about hot gluing or guerrilla gluing the piece back onto the laptop, but wasn't sure how well that would work.

Solution
typically a PEM nut.

hot glue is great for attaching pine cones to wreaths. it's absolute garbage for anything structural. use JB Weld if you can.

Thank you very much for the information!

Edit: Tried guerrilla glue but it doesn't work well. Guess I will try getting some jb weld.
