I just repaired one tonight for my son. Seems as though these things dont hold up well when dropped to the floor of a submarine...
The point at which the right hand hinge attaches to the faceplate is where it broke clean.
I disassembled the unit (hate the triwing screws) and glued the piece back to the main plate after taking the hinge retainer off then followed that up with JB Quik to firm up the now glued piece.
Reassembled and the screen now opens and closes like new. Got lucky that time.
