Hi! I would love some more information to see if I have any advice/help. In what way is it being busted? Is someone taking a bat to it, dropping it, stomping on it, etc./ how much control does the actor have in breaking the laptop? And with the images shown, the material is made of plastic? Depending on how much the actor can control the smashing act of it, tiny magnets or hot glue + a paint touch up to hide seems may help.

yes it is plastic, I believe- it is a real HP (old) laptop.

Hi Nicole- thank you so much for getting back to me. Action btw 3 characters: will be #1 clumsily swinging at #2 with the laptop, but #2 ducks. Instead, #1 smashes it into #3's face.

Those are great ideas! Let me know if you have anything to add! I really appreciate you taking the time! Cheers! xx
