As is often the case with these machines, I've had to repair the standoffs connecting the back panel of my Powerbook's screen to the hinges. However, nothing I've tried so far has been able to help the fact that, when I close it, it still seems to be trying to prise itself apart at the seams, as though still broken. I've reinforced the standoffs with a strong two-part epoxy, and I've checked over and over that the threaded inserts are holding in place (which they still are), I've chipped away excess epoxy that might have been preventing part of the hinge from sitting flush and carved out any that might have welled up in the screw holes themselves (checking the depth against one I knew was clear), but I still have this really scary-looking gap at the back of the case, making the plastics look as though they're under a lot of stress.
The main thing I want to ask is, is there anything I might have missed? If anyone could give me any advice as to what the problem might still be, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you!
