If you are referring to the band situated at the end of the tray (the one that has the DVD typed on it) then it slides down on 2 small vertical channels at the end of the tray sides - the lid should have 2 small clamps pointing inward: with the tray extended press on the extremities of the lid to make the clamp engage in the channels then press it dow till the safety pins go under the tray to secure the lid. If one of the clamps is broken then get a new lid from a discarded cd/dvd pc unit - the lid is standardized. If you are referring to the tray itself then the safety pin that holds it in place is broken and the optical unit is dead, it can't be fixed - you will need a new one. If you are referring to the top lid then just lift it at 45 deg, press it firmly under the front cover and rotate it down.
You will have to completely dismantle the player to fit it back - you will need just a screwdriver and a lot of patience for this. The lid hinge axles will go in their recesses (you will have to twist and force the lid a little) on the bottom panel then the top part will just slide out over them.You will have to completely dismantle the player to fit it back - you will need just a screwdriver and a lot of patience for this.

OK.
