    Thanks for the fix! Since I swapped out my hard drive, the lid would not stay shut. Now I can sleep, and so can my 5.5 yr old G4.

    Thanks for explaining and glad it worked for you too. It still works for me. I am even considering using crazy glue to make it permanent. The toothpick seems to stay in place just fine so I haven’t.
