    • Breathe deeply. Trying times are ahead, but we promise the lower case does come off.

    • Push in the thin rims of the lower case surrounding the battery compartment, bending them past the tabs, and then lift up to free that corner of the lower case.

    This part scared me, never in an iFixIt guide have I seen a warning like "trying times are ahead".

    I used a plastic iPod opening tool and ran it around the seam in the same order pictured. I had the plastic off in less than a minute with almost no fuss.

    • Remove the small greasy springs with white plastic caps from either side of the battery contacts.

  18. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Logic Board Replacement, Bottom Shield: passo 18, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the following 10 screws from the bottom shield:

    • Six 3 mm Phillips

    • Three 7.5 mm Phillips

    • One 14 mm Phillips

  19. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 19, imagem 1 %32
    • Lift the bottom shield off.

  20. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Logic Board Replacement, DC-In Board: passo 20, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the single Phillips screw securing the DC-In board.

    You might not need to remove the entire DC-In board and cable. This is removed because the DC-In jack blocks the upper case from being lifted off. I just removed the screw and pushed the board slightly in when removing the upper case to provide clearance. You may want to tape the board loosely in place when the screw is out to prevent it from falling out.

    • We recommend placing the computer on a soft cloth from this point on to prevent damaging the logic board.

    • Turn over the computer and open it.

    • Remove the 3 Phillips screws from the edges of the keyboard area.

    • The shorter screw goes in the lower left corner. The left corner is indicated by a blue "L" in the photograph and is on the right side.

    A soft cloth like the one you use to clean your screen with. Not a towel because of the static that might be built up in heavier fabrics.

    2myownbeat - Responder

    The picture has the lower *right* screw marked as "L" -- but that's a mistake; the short screw is, as described, on the lower LEFT side.

    Peter King - Responder

    On my computer, the screw in lower right marked "L" (long?) in the picture is M3x6mm and the other two are M3x3mm.

    donestabrook - Responder

    Long screw goes into the right bottom corner - and the 3 mm on the left - at least at the computer I did.

    zhp - Responder

    Yes, the LONG screw goes into the bottom RIGHT corner if the screen is facing you as it does when you're using the computer.

    • Be especially careful while disconnecting the cables in the forthcoming steps. Never pull directly on the cables, but use a spudger to pry up the connector directly from its socket.

    • Lift the upper case and use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab.

    • Be careful while lifting the upper case, as its tabs are still hanging on the metal frame.

    • The sockets attached to the motherboards of most iBooks are very weak and easily broken. Use extreme caution when pulling connectors out of their sockets.

    • Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails, carefully pry the connector from its socket.

    • Carefully disconnect the multicolored speaker cable from the logic board in the same fashion.

    use 2 tweezers instead: One with a fine tip to hold down the female socket and the other (or your fingernails) to pry up the male connector. That way you can better prevent the female socket to break off from the motherboard.

    Christian - Responder

    This is a very tough one. I did break both the power cable and speaker cable off the motherboard, and was unable to separate the motherboard-side connectors from the cable-side connectors even after that. Fortunately, this iBook was already bricked.

    • Remove the following 16 screws:

    • Thirteen 3 mm Phillips.

    • One 3 mm Phillips.

    • Two 4 mm Phillips.

    • During reassembly, be sure to fit the screw near the left hinge through the loop in the display data cable, securing the cable to the upper case.

    on my model, the upper yellow screw and the orange screw were 3mm as well (red colour). So only the one right yellow screw was 4 mm.

    Paulix - Responder

    On my computer there is only one 4mm screw. The leftmost bottom right. The others are 3 mm. It is actually written on the shield: M2X3 = 3 mm. M2X4 = 4 mm.

    Paulix - Responder

    The little tabs on the shield that are intended to contact the metal on the ports and the optical drive had been flattened out on my iBook and were no longer in contact. I didn't notice this until I had installed the shield. Make sure the tabs are bent down a bit as to contact the ports and optical drive. This system looks like it replaced the foil tape on earlier models. Just my own observation.

    • One 4.5 mm Phillips at the top right corner of the heat sink.

    • Two 6 mm Phillips on the lower left corner and face of the heat sink.

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

  38. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Logic Board Replacement: passo 38, 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. At this point, the heat sink should come free easily.

    • If necessary, use a spudger to pry up the heat sink from the left side near the hard drive.

    • While lifting straight up on the hinge grill with your right hand, lift the heat sink with your left hand from the end nearest the hard drive and remove the heat sink assembly from the computer.

    • Lift the logic board up from the right side, and slide it up and out of the computer.

    • When replacing your logic board, be sure to transfer your old RAM chips to your new logic board.

    • Most 14" iBooks use thermally conductive pads rather than thermal paste to conduct heat from the processors to the heat sink. It is unlikely that these pads will fall off or become unusable during reinstallation. If so, be sure to apply a liberal amount of thermal paste to the surface of all processors before mounting the heat sink. This will avoid any damage from overheating.
