    Hi,

    I bought a second hand t60, and I guess I did not look over it thoroughly enough as I noticed a crack today :( :(

    Take a look at the picture. Is there anything I can do about this. The laptop still has the Lenovo warranty but I suppose that wont help me? :(

    Well I noticed that you could probably press the cracked part in and it won't look to bad.
    I mean it looks like you could push it IN.

    Sorry if I'm not being clear enough, ;) I'm trying

    thanks for the reply. i managed to push it in but now i realized that its possible that it was 'pushed in' when i bought it, and popped out. what can i use to secure it? it sounds almost stupid to suggest super glue but is that possible?

    Hmm- .-
    You definitely don't want to block the heat flow. Ya I'd first put a teeny bit of glue on the crack area then press the cracked area down and keep it there till the glue dries.
