    This happened before and I used super glue but this time I don't know where it went. I bought it from Best Buy with the one year black tie warranty. Maybe they might be able to replace it? What do you think?

    Anyway my Toshiba is wobbly because of the thing that fell out.

    I would take it to BestBuy as you have already paid for the extra warranty/insurance. They should be able to address it.

    Keep us posted with any results.

    all of mine fell out and I used Sugru to mold new ones, they are rock solid in there and will never fall out.

    Check out Sugru if you get a chance, its an awesome product.

    Sorry about losing your data; but can't complain too much about a new computer.
    For future reference, always best to backup your data before sending your computer in for any repair.
