    I have a Aspire 3000 and the cover over both hinges are cracked. Did any of you guy's ever had this problem? And if so how did you take care off it? Thanks for any input. :) :)

    Thanks yuio,

    But the problem is that I don't live in the US thus it would be very difficult for me to send it to Acer. Maybe you know where I can order them? Thanks for the reply.

    Hi choopz,

    we have 4 acer laps and one has cracked on both of the hinges. As a quick make do repair I superglued a small square of pvc (firm thin plastic) on each hinge. This has prevented the crack from getting any worse until I can obtain anew
