    Hold on - does the laptop still work? If so, I'd be in there with some superglue, or maybe someone can suggest some kind of epoxy glue for a laptop?

    As long as you don't glue the hinge open, 2-part araldite would be my weapon of choice if you're going to try it.....superglue is likely to either 1. not stick it or 2. melt the case plastics

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    I googled the model and nothings come up :(

    @Tarambor
    The thinkpad reviews are very good, I wish I knew this before forking over double for a laptop that would be discontinued in a year.


    @ almillar & GunJack

    Yep still works, I'm on it now and I used the camera on the front and a mirror to take the pics, glue was the first thing I thought. Just looked up aradite and it sounds like the best option.
