A fix for a Powerbook intermittently waking when closed
Authored by: woodstea on Apr 21, '04 02:00:32AM

I can confirm that the original hint is valid - I had the same thing happen with my 12" Al, ostensibly after a fall to the floor. I had the intermittent on while cover closed problem, and also the latch seemed looser than before - when closed there was some give in it.

After reading the hint I tried the pencil trick - both on the front and right edges, and now the cover closes as before, with the latch reasonably tight and the rubber front corner pads flush against the wrist rests. So far I haven't seen the screen on while closed problem either.

Obviously you want to do this as carefully as possible...
