The best way is to replace the frame, pretty cheap on eBay. I have a 500 with the same cracks I just keep the screws tight and be careful to use both hands when moving the display. A TiGlide tool will help by loosening the hinges also:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA Sent from my MBP -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
