This otherwise excellent guide omits the cmos battery which is stuck to to optical drive. I did not need to disconnect the top tray, I just stood it up against the display. I was fitting a slightly older drive on which the right hand bracket was a different design.I used the bracket from the original drive. Ifixit rocks!

I installed a sata hdd caddy in my Powerbook and thought it did work it seemed to run slow. Might have been faster with a ssd... Good that I went back in my Powerbook since the right usb cable was loose and not working.
