I now remember..... Have a Schultz multi tool. Actually have 2, bought an extra one because they were cheap. Use it as a mini sander, didn't know it can cut.Good thing you bought two, they are not going to last..
@HunterNW quite common practice for cupboard makers to inset the hardboard like that way back when, its also done on the side, the design was to keep it from moving or deflecting, the more modern approach is to just nail the hardboard onto the back panels I believe.
I have no building experience but that looks like a bit more than a surface crack. Looks like movement in the entire wall. Surface cracks are normally not as straight and long.
If that's the ceiling boards, I believe there is a very thin bandage that can be used. Is the ceiling skimmed or just plaster board painted?

Cancel that. I see it is on the ceiling
I have no idea whether it's skimmed or just plaster board tbh.. Will acrylic sealant and a good paint solve it?
You could try acrylic sealer, damp cloth to smooth out before is dries, then paint when dry. Not sure if it would seal properly though, as those cracks are caused by flex/movement, so may open again.
@STORMERSFAN
Thanks not handyman like.. Will get a contractor out and ask to come and quote on the above.. Don't wanna mess with things I know nothing about
Just outta interest.. Could I rhino lite it as I've just had my bedrooms rhinolited and I quite like the finish.. (will it solve the problem)
It should work, but you still need to fix the crack properly before rhinoliting.
