DSLite Cracked Hinge Problem

Okay, I got a DS lite a year ago. Ironically, My DS lite's hinge got a crack 2 days after the warranty expired (Does Nintendo actually plan 4 this 2 happen?).
Anyway, the top screen is all wobbly and it doesnt stand straight. I dont want to waste $120 on a new one. Does anyone have an estimate as to how much money it would take to repair this problem? ??? ??? ???
