I have a samsung 205BW and just the other day i noticed the left side of the monitor that the plastic split. I don't know if this is something to worry about it seems like a clip inside broke or something.
this is the side that worries me.

It's probably worth getting an adhesive, and using a c-clamp to put it back together.

i dont think it needs anything, i'm just worried if its going to get worse or something i dont have time to sent it to get fixed or something its my only monitor atm.
 
well its going to look pretty stupid with something on it. And i don't think a glue will hold it.
 
Probably was like that when you bought it. I doubt the monitor would open itself up normal usage of it. Besides, if you do not notice any functions lost, then you shouldn't worry.
 
I believe the poster that mentioned the C clamp meant to say, glue it with a heavy duty glue, and clamp it together whilst the glue dries.. a decent epoxy, or anything like guerrilla glue will definitely hold that together.

yeah i'll look into something thanks. :)
 
Well yeah, I didn't mean permanently. :p

Just hit up a local hobby shop. You'll want to look for something that's good with plastics, that can handle temps up to say 120F.
