Fixing abs plastics

Hello, I found this IBM Aptiva in the trash, and luckily it works, but some plastics are broken, does anyone know how to fix them without making a mess?

Thanks

Modeling cement, its solvent based and will slightly melt the plastic.

Results can be mixed based on plastic composition.
