Introdução
Remove your upper case to access the internals of your PowerBook.
-
Use your thumbs to push the two battery retaining tabs away from the battery.
-
The battery should pop up enough to rotate it toward yourself and lift it out of the lower case.
-
Remove the three 2.3 mm Phillips screws securing the memory cover to the lower case.
-
Lift the memory cover slightly and pull it toward yourself to remove it from the lower case.
-
Remove the following ten screws:
-
Two 14.7 mm shouldered Phillips.
-
Three 12.3 mm Phillips.
-
One 3.8 mm T8 Torx.
-
One 6.8 mm T8 Torx.
-
Three 1.3 mm Phillips.
-
-
Use your fingernails to separate the ZIF cable lock away from its socket. (Move the two brown bits down 1mm)
-
Use the tip of a spudger to slide the trackpad ribbon cable out of its socket.
-
Remove the four 3.4 mm Phillips screws from the PC card side of the PowerBook.
-
Remove the four 3.4 mm Phillips screws from the DVI connector side of the PowerBook.

Depress the display latch release button and open your display.

Starting near the display, lift the upper case straight up off the lower case, minding any cables that may get caught.
Sometimes the "tags"/"lugs" that are around the edge of the top & bottom frame, be careful not to bend them as when putting back the covers they will not merge. I used a screwdriver to poke through the hole the screw was supposed go in & push against the "inside nut" to let the tag from the top slide down between the 2 tags. The "inside nut" is like the one right next to the ribbon cable as shown in Dia.14. The screws are from Dia. 7&8.
When putting the machine back together (following steps in reverse), make sure the trackpad ribbon cable comes through the underside of the computer — there is an opening that the cable needs to go through and you will want to “thread the needle” with the cable before securing the upper case again.
