Only a new hinge / chassis.
We get a lot of these, whilst a few of them are known issues with the screws being overtightened, or overtightening over a time period (with use) a lot of them are down to accidental damage / misuse. Of course that's something their coverplans cover for but not the manufacturers warranty.
Gluing it would probably work short term but if theres an underlying chassis issue that would not be anything long term and the problem would still get worse. Short of paying for a new chassis and swapping over have you looked to see if the screws can be loosened slightly?
As for the KB if you can open the chassis or flick the KB out maybe it's worked loose from its lugs or the lugs have broken?
