As I recall, the G4 Powerbooks have a latch that's mostly hidden in the 
top, but pulled out when the top comes into close contact with a small 
magnet in the bottom; and it should secure the two sections. There were 
numerous complaints early on about the latch not working well, but I 
haven't seen too many lately.

My guess would be the latch is stuck. If it's still under warranty, I'd 
have someone take a look at it.
