Broken Lid/Hinge

[chelsiPM]

So our lid made an awful cracking sound and now is detached from one of the hinges… unfortunately Support can’t help us with this and suggested coming here to see what adhesives or fixes you lovely folks suggest.

Because the hinge and glass are detached, the list closes at a crazy bad angle (not shown in photos its too scary to bend it like that) unless you push down on the back while trying to close it. Please help we use our laser for all sorts of projects for our business!
