Edit: this story has a happy ending. Link to repair photos down the page.
So my charcoal black AGS-101 that I bought new many years ago just disintegrated. Or at least, the shell around the hinge on the d-pad side did. Just crumbled. Tragic shit. I guess the plastic had gotten brittle? I had it stored away for a few years and recently got back into using it. Guess I should've been treating it like an antique.
Now what? Find an old SP with a broken screen or something, for donor shell parts? Go IPS? Or "consolize" it?
