Notebook's corner broke off. It's black thin plastic broke off in one piece. What are best strategies to join it back? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

That's my personal PC, so I don't care about looks, I mostly want a strong connection to the whole notebook's bottom casing so I won't break it by touching that part of it while taking it up by it.

I have superglue, hot glue, metal sheets, can purchase screws and such, am not limited of basic supplies, but I have no idea how a pro would go about it.

Deeper description: it's occured to the bottom part of a notebook holding most hardware. The corner itself is empty so no hardware there. It broke off in one piece, but have itself two still intact details - one is a part of a flat surface that you put your hands on while working, the second is a bit rounded reaching the bottom.

I came to think I want to fix it with some sheet where it is flat, and then glue it to it's curvy bottom.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

Well, how was it un-typical?

Well, there are a lot of these computers going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that PCs aren’t safe.
