    So I accidentally dropped my laptop and a have a crack in one of the corner's of my computer's plastic shell. The disc drive is also sticking out slightly. Where/who should I go to to have this fixed? My computer's manufacturer doesn't repair accidents in their warranty.

    Thanks.

    I would recommend super glue. It should stop it from getting worse.

    There is this stuff called Plast-aid. It turns powder into a strong plastic - You could mould it into the crack. Probably add some coloring to it to match your machine.

    Depending on who manufactured your laptop you may be able to get one of the resellers/manufactures to sell you a empty chasis that you could swap your parts into. I've read about Mythlogic doing this for Clevo/Sager models but the answer really depends on your model of laptop.
