The top is broken near the hinge ... makes it easy to open but very
difficult to close. Any recommendations where/how much to get it
repaired. Is it possible to buy a new case and do it yourself?

thanks,

This is a machine dating from 2005. You might try asking in
uk.adverts.computer if someone is breaking one for spares.

Acer spares can be had from

ERS
Beechwood Way
Langage Science Park
Plympton
Plymouth
Devon
PL7 5HH
ENGLAND

But that will cost. New laptops are just getting cheaper - see Tesco etc...

OTOH It is a DIY job, just need patience, concentration, care not to
damage fragile plastics and film wire connectors, sense not to
unnecessarily handle static sensitive electronics, and plenty of small
containers (I use strip seal bags) to place screws with meticulous notes
where they go and how tight they were tightened. A service manual will
help, lots of them are on the web for free download if you look in the
right places.

Alternatively a chap by the name of Paul Durkin well known in
uk.adverts.computer might be able to help?
