Laptop casing issue...

Hi everyone :beer:
My laptop is slowly develloping a big non-software fault.
At the left screen hinge a big hairline crack has formed through normal use and the other side is starting to show signs of forming a new one too.
The laptop is a FujitsuSiemens Amilo LI2727.
This also happened to my last laptop an Acer TravelMate 2410. At first I put it down to being something I had done but I have researched this online and it seems to be a common problem.
Basically other than sending the laptop off and paying hundreds of pounds to MAYBE getting it fixed or having to do some major self repair to it, are there any glue/solutions I can use?
Many websites advise against using superglue, sellotape doesn't last long, but that there is an epoxy product that could help? There are maaaaany solutions where people don't follow up on advise!
Thanks in advance for the replies :T

try emailing the peeps at tjit.co.uk , they repaired myn and they were cheap I believe they also specialise in fujitsu. They are very reasonable priced too, they repared my inverter in my fujitsu for £35 plus think the postage collect and return was £25. Other places wanted £50 odd quid just for the part.0
