My powerbook took a spill, and there's clear damage to the case at

If I hold the thing tightly together at that corner it works
properly.
The screen itself is fine, no problems there.
A friend had a similar problem with a 667DVI Titanium recently,
although it was a front corner which was damaged.
He used stiff metal wire in the manner of a bulldog clip to keep the
split tightly held together, and it seems to do the trick.
Yeah, I just bodged up a temp fix with a small binder clip after
dremel-ing off the handle and tip on one side, so it's flat, seems to
be holding it together and in place.
