HI all,
I have a G4 Titanium powerbook 15" DVI. The right hand hinge has broken and I have dismantled the machine,successfully removed the bezel from the screen and removed the offending bit of hinge. All has gone very well. However, I have discovered a small hexagonal "pillar" with a magnet fixed inside the top and a screw thread on the opposing side. The magnet is the same size as the four that sit inside the plastic frame, which in turn sits inside the case. I don't recall unscrewing this - I noted that a number of screws were a little loose, so in moving the innards I may have disturbed it. Anyway - anyone have any idea where it goes?
Thanks
