[QUOTE="rustyk123, post: 1403404, member: 99923"] repairing it yourself would be cheapest, but it is not that easy. You would have to disassemble the laptop, then remove the bezel on the screen, then remove the screen (be careful of the cables, they are easy to damage), then remove everything else and move it over. This part is not extremely hard, the hardest part would probally be attaching the screen Assembly back onto the base, those wires never fit the same way. A very cheap temporary repair is just superglue. It is not recommended, but if you are really cheap or don't feel like opening it it would work. Just fill in the cracks with superglue and let sit for an hour or however long the bottle says to complete dry, leave the lid open to give it that shape again. the reason it is hard to close it the hinge is not getting enough force to close because the crack is right at the edge.
