[DM-MUG] Casing coming apart at front corner

[Arne Quanbeck]

It's quite possible that there is a loose or missing screw. Check  
that first. A screwdriver set and a screw is a fairly cheap solution.

Gently duct taping may make the problem worse. Red Green says "Spare  
the duct tape, spoil the job". In this case, that is correct. A poor  
duct tape job might leave the case loose, or even cause a board to  
short on the case. If you use duct tape, duct tape it thoroughly,  
being careful to not block any vents. Note that covering too much of  
the laptop may also hurt heat dissipation as well. Of course, since  
there is some risk involved in any improvised solution, this advice  
comes with no warranties.
Thanks
