Laptop Screw Inserts

I've been repairing a laptop (Dell Inspiron 15R N5110), and somehow the brass screw inserts came out! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

 

Now, I've got to track down a couple before I can proceed. Does anyone know the proper name of these inserts?

@RockerBug17 Unfortunately, sorry I posted late. The screws threads might be either fine or coarse threads but who knows, aren't they either the standard phillips head screws.

Here is a video about removing the motherboard but there is a link to parts which might have the screws instock.

They stripped out or they came out of the plastic?

 

If they came out, just epoxy them back in.
