Bouncy or hollow spots
Uneven subfloor or failing underlayment under the laminate.

Can you replace one laminate plank in the middle of the room?
Often, yes. Pros either unclick the rows from the nearest wall or use a cut-in method that avoids taking up the whole floor.
Do I need spare planks?
Leftover planks from the original install make matching much easier. If you don't have any, the pro can try to source a matching product.
Why is my laminate peaking?
Usually the floor was installed without enough expansion space at the walls or is pinned down by cabinets or heavy fixtures. The fix is to restore that gap.
