with mine, if you can hear the motor still operating, lift the lid and on the hinge you will see 2 crosshead screws (if the same as mine) remove the black plastic plate and you will see 2 black plastic L shaped spacers which secure the lid to the rotating spindle, nime had just popped out push them back into their slots on the pivot and you will also see 2 location mouldings on the inside of the plate you first removed.. make sure they line up and secure the spacers when you refit the plate and screw it back on... and presto! a working lid!!!
