Actually, I better give more advice to you Angus. I worry about this gluing attempt of yours: I always use long drying epoxy resin (Araldite) for similar though plastic glues are probably better if you know what kind of plastic etc... But better still is to get a welder out and flame the joint (fixed a toilet plastic arm that holds the float this way ... you should not ask but it got burnt from a candle burning right through setting all on fire). But there's even better:
The 7300 has 2 plastic thingies, one is a little pathetic thin rest arm (often black) that stops the opened case falling in, the other something more robust and squarish that stops the opened falling out. (Bet it is the former that broke). Throw it out and don't rely on it either when new or repaired, if it breaks when in operation, you can damage the computer. Make a metal one instead if you must have such a fitting. I never rely on it and never repair my broken ones. And of course you are still where you never leave no matter what B Bonzai thinks.
