I'm not at all familiar with laptops, so this is probably a real 
hair-brained highly non-tech suggestion which may or may not work.

My first thought was that maybe you could bond a piece of thin but rigid 
perspex over the whole frame and screen so as to hold it all together 
---though it would prolly interfere with closing the laptop. Maybe the 
hinges or catch could be modified slightly to accommodate the extra thickness.

Another dodgy solution might be to wrap some sort of webbing right round 
the outside of the frame and cinch it up real tight to strengthen the 
corners.

Wouldn't look real great. But hey---anything's better than throwing the 
thing away!

Have you tried ringing around nearby cities to computer repair shops, tip 
shops, op-shops, etc, for a similar model someone might have discarded as 
broken for other reasons and donated for spares?
