The computer works, but I would like to glue, or somehow fix the top so it no longer bends.

Service would have been nice. Since the computer is working fine, I used the Plastic Welder Kit I obtained from Harbor Freight Tools. I now have a cover with some stainless steel screen melted into the top of the case, with some additional black plastic/rubber melted on top of the screen. The cover is now strong, and I am able to use the computer.
Since I also have decades of experience building, rebuilding and repairing computers, I could have replaced the broken cover, if ACER were willing to provide the parts. I was able to find a video someone created showing how to dis & reassemble.
Uh, you didn't ask for a replacement cover. Acer does sell individual parts for the C710, my reference says the part number is: LCD COVER - 60.SH7N2.003. This is the cover that forms the back of the display, I believe that was what you needed?
billsey, thanks for your reply. I should have been more specific. While my plastic welding allows me to use the computer, it is nice to know that parts are available. During my initial search, I did not find that information. There are actually a couple of other things that could be replaced. I am grateful to know where to look for parts. Thank you
