HELP!

 

I always wanted an R13, so when I saw a cheap R13 for sale on kijiji (canadas craigslist), I shot the guy a lowball offer and he accepted. Now the thing is he clearly advertised that the top glass was cracked and it even looked that way in the pics, but it didn't bother me much because a- I thought it was only cracked and not completely broken and b- IM GETTING AN R13!

 

So anyways I met the guy and bought it off him for 400cad (300usd). The laptop is perfect. Skylake 5200U, 8gb ram although only 128gb storage. Display good and everything working fine, except I didnt check the lid properly and now that I'm home with the laptop I've noticed that the top glass isn't just cracked- its broken and some of the glass is pushing inward. I was okay with a cracked lid as I could cover it with a sticker (like how hes done) and it would do for the time being, but this broken lid is a risk to the display.

 

1- How can I disassemble the top lid and get the broken glass out on priority? Theres no disassembly guide or service manual online so does anyone know/have instructions for this?

 

2- Where can I get a replacement glass? Almost every other acer laptop including its older cousin R7 has replacement parts, but I can't find anything for this.

 

Although,I'm pretty good at 3d printing and crafting so Im fairly certain I can replace the top glass with something else if not the original. Right now Im really worried about losing the display to the lid. Everything else on this laptop is perfect, infact I'm typing from it right now ....

 

Heres what the lid looks like-

Its only that one side that is pushing inside. The rest has criss crossing cracks, but they are not as worrysome.
