I have a screw loose

[Thomas Bridgeland]

My 600 iceBook dropped a screw out of the top. Its the one just over 
the ethernet port in the lid. (I only found it because it fell out 
while in the case, and it stuck to the magnet in the front latch.)

I just got this book a month ago. It was sold as used, at a very low 
price, but pristine in appearance, I think it was never touched, the 
keyboard was spotless without a speck of dust under the keys.
But a screw dropped out, and when I put it back in I found that the 
threads in the lid were stripped out. The screw just turns in the hole, 
and pops right back out. I am holding it in place with a bit of clear 
tape now   :--(   The other screws seem snug.

What should I do about this? If it were some cheap thing I would just 
slather in some superglue and lock the screw back in place, but that 
seems not quite right on an iBook. Besides, if for some reason I ever 
wanted to take the top off, that would be a bitch to undo.

Is there ever a reason to take the top off? I doubt if the store would 
spring for a whole new lid for just a loose screw, my guess is they 
would just glue it back themselves.
