Hi,
My Sony Vaio had a crack on the plastic frame on the left corner where it meets the monitor. It cracked simply because I open the laptop and each time I open it it puts pressure on that crack. Since it was getting bigger, I put superglue on it a few days ago. It seemed to work fine, but now the crack cracked the superglue too... Is there a way for me to remove the superglue off the plastic frame without damaging the color? It's black. Or what can I do to prevent the crack? Just reapply more glue?
And I did this as an alternative because my warranty didn't cover for it even though I haven't dropped my laptop or anything. It's just faulty and weak plastic. :/
Thanks all.

Take it to a hobby hut(RC cars, train models, and such) and see if they can help you get some glue that will fuze the plastic rather than just stick to it.

Super glue is no good on a high stress area like that, you really need another case, you might get away using some epoxy resin, the two part stuff that you mix together, it sets hard as rock and you can drill it, but you will need to take the notebook apart, and put a load of it on the area that is broken, after sanding the area down to give the glue something to grip onto, then clean off all the dust.
It normally white when it`s mixed but i added a little black pen ink, and filled in a hole on the top of my notebook.
