Where can you buy replacement parts for this design flaw on the lcd cover? Same area of the back cover has cracked on me as well after treating the laptop very well. Appears to have something to do with the large 17" lcd screen. Personally will never buy anything over 15" again. Completely unnecessary and too heavy and stiff.

Acer Online Chat support is less than helpful and I've been given multiple links that end up nowhere. Sucks, as I apparently won't be able to have a mobile laptop any longer, bc of this issue.
