I was considering using a metal backing sheet, possibly using screws. (FWIW, It's the frame the supports the trackpad click button that's broken.) I think I like your suggestion of ABS plastic better, and I should get a better bond glueing plastic/plastic than metal/plastic. That and most metal sheets tend to flex. Unfortunately, I had a slip of the fingers whilst doing the disassembly and managed to smash one of those damn little connectors that the keyboard plugs into. Since I'm not going to brave surface mount soldering on the scale required to replace the thing in such cramped confines, this will entail messy repair with my chosen glue, possibly without the benefit of a backing sheet (given the size of the thing.) Back to the point, from where would you get ABS glue? Cheers, Adam. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
