Hey guys, any links to a supplier for those WEAK lid latches? The old G4 had one broken when I got it and the other just broke yesterday. Now it has these nice black plastic tape latches, external models you understand. (Ugly!) Any ideas appreciated.
Best regards

Just pull the lock tab out from the back of the machine and secure it in that position with something. It will keep the case closed.

Thanks Captain! Never would have thought of that myself, blindside I guess, as I have never used the security lock. Makes you wonder about what else we should realize, but never do.
Thanks again.
