Faulty lids and covers are the bane of any serviceman.  We've all
encountered some device that needs the cover taking off and replacing,
or taking off and leaving it off, to make the device work.  Often for no
good reason.

It's right up their with equipment that has one too many, or one too few
screws.  The second being more of a worry, wondering where it fell, or
what you put one into that doesn't own one.

If Microsoft built a car, you'd have to drive it with the bonnet
unfastened.
