Your dealer should replace it under warranty.  Plastic in early 5300's is
very dodgy and has been upgraded.  It is a known problem.  I had to
replace the door, the upper case half, the lowe case half and the mouse
button three times until the new plastic came in.  I had absolutley no
problems with my dealer who was most helpful.

Go back to your original purchaser and speak to the manager.  If they
still give problems tell them that unless they fix it you will be making a
formal complaint about their lack of service to Apple Australia.
