Question Fx504GE Touchpad Screw Issues

[Massiveredboi]

Here's a pic of what I mean.

I have an interesting yet infuriating issue with my Asus Laptop. I recently got it second hand, and when I was in the process of changing the touchpad, the entire screwbit came out. So, rn, I'm brainstorming what I can do without having to replace my whole keyboard over one stupid screw, and I'm open to all ideas.

You can JB Weld it "epoxy" back into where is broke out. Ruff up the hole and the underside of broke part. I can't tell if the screw broke off in the threads but easy with patients to remove it. LET EPOXY cure 24 hrs than put back together.

So the screw is still intact, but it's the thread itself that broke off. The screw is indeed in the thread, so I'll probably remove it first before applying epoxy and putting back the thread. Thanks for the idea!
