  22. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement, Bottom Shield: passo 22, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the 4 Phillips screws from the bottom shield.

    • The two longer screws are along the computer's edge, near the ports.

  23. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 23, imagem 1 %32
    • Lift the bottom shield off.

  24. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement, DC-In Board: passo 24, imagem 1 %32

    • Remove the two Phillips screws from the battery compartment.

  28. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 28, imagem 1 %32
    • We recommend placing the computer on a slab of grey anti-static packing foam from this point on to prevent damaging the logic board.

    • Turn over the computer and open it.

    • Pry up the magnet covering a Phillips screw near the middle of the computer.

  29. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 29, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the following 7 screws from the edges of the keyboard area.

    • Three 2 mm Phillips along the right edge.

    • One 4.5 mm Phillips underneath where the magnet was.

    • One 6 mm Phillips with a small head in the lower left corner.

    • Two 6 mm Phillips with large heads, one in the upper left corner and one in the middle

  30. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 30, imagem 1 %32
    • Before you can yank the upper case off, you must disconnect the trackpad connector, the blue and white power cable, and speaker cable as described in the next steps.

    • Lift the upper case from the right side and use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab. Due to model variatons your trackpad connector may be different from the one pictured.

  31. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 31, imagem 1 %32
    • Carefully lift the upper case about half of an inch and move it so that you can access the power and speaker cables.

    • If the upper case is sticking, it may be necessary to free the tabs holding the upper case to the metal framework along the outer edge of the battery compartment.

  32. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 32, imagem 1 %32
    • The connectors at the ends of the cables are attached very firmly to the sockets on the logic board. Pulling directly on the cable will either separate the cable from its connector or the socket from the logic board.

    • Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails or a dental pick, carefully pry the connector from its socket. Make sure you're pulling only on the connector and not on the socket.

  33. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 33, imagem 1 %32
    • Lift the upper case off completely and disconnect the multicolored speaker cable from the logic board. As before, make sure you're pulling only on the connector and not on the socket.

    • Tip: the multi-coloured cable may be easier and less daunting to disconnect after removing the top heat shield. Prop the top case upright while removing the shield - the connector is then much more accessible.

  34. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement, Top Shield: passo 34, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the following 15 screws:

    • Fourteen 3 mm Phillips.

    • Mind the magnet position in the lower right corner

  35. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 35, imagem 1 %32
    • Lift the top shield up from the right side, minding the upper left corner, which may catch on the metal framework.

  36. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement, Modem: passo 36, imagem 1 %32
    • Due to variations between iBook G4 models, your modem may look slightly different from the picture. All of the following steps apply to either model.

    • Remove the two Phillips screws at the corners of the modem.

  37. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 37, imagem 1 %32
    • Lift the modem and modem shield from the bottom.

  38. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 38, imagem 1 %32
    • Disconnect the RJ-11 cable from the top of the modem.

    • When replacing the modem, seat the shield first, and then connect the modem and press it firmly into the shield, making sure that it is connected to the logic board.

  43. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 43, imagem 1 %32
    • The 3.5 mm Phillips screw indicated below with a red circle may be absent in some models.

    • Remove the following 5 screws and 3 nuts from the heat sink:

    • One 3.5 mm Phillips from the lower left corner of the heat sink.

    • Three 6 mm Phillips from around the fan.

    • One 7.5 mm Phillips at the top right corner of the heat sink.

    • One 4 mm nut from the side of the heat sink.

    • Two 4 mm screw nuts with attached springs from either side of the heat sink.

  44. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 44, imagem 1 %32
    • It may be necessary to soften the thermal paste between the logic board and heat sink. You can soften the thermal compound using a hairdryer. Move the hairdryer back and forth over the ribbed metal section of the heat sink for one minute. At this point, the heat sink should come free easily.

    • Use a spudger to pry the heat sink up on the left side, near the hard drive.

  45. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 45, imagem 1 %32
    • Grasp the heat sink in one hand and lift up the hinge grill in the other hand so that you can remove the heat sink from the computer.

    • If you need to mount the heat sink back into the laptop, we have a thermal paste guide that makes replacing the thermal compound easy.

  46. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement, Logic Board: passo 46, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the two Phillips screws securing the white plastic fingers of the I/O bezel to the metal framework.

    • The longer screw goes into the longer finger, closer to the display.

  47. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 47, imagem 1 %32
    • Lift up the left side of the computer and slide the I/O bezel away.

  48. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 48, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the single Phillips screw securing the EMI finger to the metal framework.

    • The screw goes into the hole between the modem and ethernet ports.

    • Lift the silver EMI finger off of the metal framework.

  49. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 49, imagem 1 %32

  50. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 50, imagem 1 %32
    • The cable you're about to remove is very fragile - do not pull directly on the wires. Instead, try to pry up the connector directly, using a spudger or a small flathead screwdriver if necessary.

    • Disconnect the microphone cable at the front of the computer, between the left side of the hard drive and the metal framework.

  51. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 51, imagem 1 %32

    • There are two different styles of optical drive ribbon. If the cable extending from the optical drive is white, skip this step. If the cable is orange, then complete this step and skip the next two steps.

    • Disconnect the orange optical drive ribbon from the logic board.

  53. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 53, imagem 1 %32
    • This is a diagram of the ribbon clamp connector you will disconnect in the next step.

    • 1) With your fingernails, grasp the locking bar on either side and pull up a small amount (about 1/16" or 2 mm).

    • 2) After disengaging the locking bar, slide the cable out of the connector.

  54. iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 54, imagem 1 %32

Just finished putting back together my iBook G4 12inch 1.92. After attempting to repair the infamous soldering issue of these machines, I put it back together and… it works! Thank you for your detailed instructions. If I had one suggestion, please list the screw sizes at all the steps for those putting things back together afterwards. Thank you again!
