Tricks to get the IIsi's lid back on?

[3lectr1cPPC]

Perhaps I'm just being stupid but I'm having some real trouble getting the top cover of my IIsi to go back on properly. Does anyone have any tips or tricks about how to go about it? I can get it most of the way but it never clicks into place back all the way.

What are you currently trying? It's the same as most Mac IIs isn't it? Hook the front on with it held at about 30°, then with one hand lightly on the front, lower the back until it rests, check the fit is right, then push down each latch one at a time using the palm of your hand.

If it isn’t clicking, make sure the front is hooked on properly and there isn't anything stuck in the groves etc.

Solved. Guess what the reason it was so difficult was?

The floppy drive wasn't seated correctly, it was sticking out a bit. Makes sense, fixed it, cover goes back on easily now.
