Hello today I cleaned very well the inside of the computer. As Andrewferguson said, the plastic are very poor quality. They are ABS plastic and they were in good condition until I touch them.

The plastic piece with the on off button was broken and I did not notice it. I tried to repair it with acetone, but the result is not very good. Just enough for little use.
Another plastic part is broken too. See photos.

I will be very grateful if you could tell me if it is possible to get new ones. I mean modern reproductions or NOS or original, but in this last case I think all originales from 1996 are going to be affected by age as mine.

Thanks
