Rattling Screw Inside laptop...not sure how to fix?

So, i've had this laptop for about 6 months, and it works perfectly fine - the laptop is quiet, however a week ago I noticed something rattling around inside the laptop when I moved it. I am very gentle with it and i've never once dropped it or bumped it.

I'd like to see if I could remove whatever is loose inside, since the sound is quite annoying. It doesn't seem to affect how the laptop functions but I don't want it to cause any problems. I don't know what screw driver i'd need to remove the back screws. I tried a search to find the screw size for my model but I was unsuccessful.

Any help is appreciated.

I have a Samsung Notebook 9 - np900x5l-k02us:

I haven't had a chance to research taking the laptop apart, but I strongly suggest that you don't turn to power on AT ALL until the screw is removed. It may be harmless, or not.

I use the laptop for work... unfortunately it's my only computer atm. It feels like a screw is loose near the track pad. This is been for weeks and nothing has happened. I have a backup of my data, just in case...

Edit: Fixed! I found a mini screwdriver that worked. It was a tiny screw on the left side in a compartment, really easy to find. I was lucky this time lol.

Is the screw thread stripped or normal?
Were you able to identify the component which it was securing?
If you bought the laptop as new,immediately return it for inspection. Put the screw back where you found it and "forget to mention" you know what it is and where it was.
There are numerous reasons to reject warranty claims,no need to provide another one.
