I don't know for sure, but I would suspect the plastic is actually some ABS
variant, and as such, an ABS solvent and glue, sold in home improvment
stores like Home Depot and Lowes might be what you'd want to use. I would
recommend trying it on a unit you don't wish to risk. Perhaps you could
pick up a dead one off of eBay? And if you can get one, you might be better
off swapping shells.

Subject: OT?????? HP200LX case repair
Not sure if this is on-topic or not, forgive my indescretion if
it isn't on
topic..
I have recently rediscovered my HP41C and HP200LX units. The 200LX has a
partial crack in the top lid back by the hinge, such that if it
cracked all
the way through, the top (screen) would only be attached by one
side. I want
to glue the crack (it gaps when opening the unit) before it breaks all the
way through. Is it better to use a superglue or a regular elmers
glue? Just
don't want to mess it up. I would use superglue, but I have found some
situations where superglue doesn't adhere like I would think.
Suggestions?
