What's this 'lid' you speak of? Is it part of the operating system?
It's there to keep the cat piss off. Cat piss is deadly to motherboards, believe me. Apart from that, I'm not sure what a lid is meant to do, but usually the act of screwing it on seems to magically flip a dip switch, loosen a cable, shift a card out of it's slot, drop a screw onto a contact etc etc. Usually takes three or four tries before it goes on and stays on. I find you can trick it. These days I just hook the lid on loosely and make pretend motions with the screwdriver. It stays on (unless you do something silly) and everything just works. Now what I really need is a monitor mounted (and heated) cat basket with glass keyboard protector. (So cat can stand on keyboard and demand a stroke without causing fatal and/or embarrassing keypushes.)
