You'd be welcome to bring it in to Haddock and I'll have a quick look.
Might even be able

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.
