Hello, yesterday I noticed a crack in my laptop's casing.

It's located NEAR where I circled it on that pic. This is a Toshiba Tecra M7 Tablet PC, it's screen can twist around and lay flat. As of right now, I've been really, REALLY careful with opening this thing and only messing with the screen until I shut the thing off for good. Is there a WAY I can fix this thing myself? If now...about how MUCH should it cost to get this sort of thing repaired? Should I send it to Toshiba for repair (the warranty has run out) or take it to a local repair shop?I

One way to fix it (I only recommend this if you are EXTREMELY careful), you could try to use something to melt the plastic and essentially "WELD" it together. Problem is you might end up burning the plastic, making it even more noticable. Alhough then you could tell the support STAFF that fire was coming out of that crack. Once again though, you'd need to be extremely careful not to, say, poke a hole through the whole thing.


Another word of advice, if you take it bungee jumping, remember to close the screen, otherwise the screen could snap off at the crucial bounce-back point.
