Broken Laptop Hinges - Found Workaround!

I found some craft sticks(aka popsicle sticks) and was playing around trying to find a way to keep the monitor up where I wanted it. First  I tried hot-gluing them to the bottom of the lid to act like sort of a 'door stop' but it didn't work that great - popped the monitor out of the hinges a few times and the sticks just wouldn't stay in place. Right now I'm taking a different approach; I stuck two craft sticks on the sides of the console, and two on the top of the monitor... though I might change it because it looks a bit too odd still. But at least it works.
