[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1048017, member: 199791"] I'd not recommend hot glue unless it was the higher temperature stuff, the regular hot-snot that we tend to get off the shelf will soften and come apart when the PSU is in use (depending on how much of a load the laptop places on it, mine can get quite hot to the touch), hence the use of other glues, even something like UHU All-purpose glue would work well as that stuff (from experience, both accidental and intentional!) will melt the plastic slightly and create a near weld-like joint as it is solvent-based... :) [/QUOTE]
