http://caslis.com/mac/ibook/ibdrive.html is the website I used as a reference when I rescued a friend several years ago and did a recent upgrade. For someone used to opening up computers the job isn't too bad but mating the top and bottom of the case is a bit harrowing. It requires just a tad more force than your mind thinks is safe. If you have access to another computer, I recommend that at each step you take a digital photo of what it looks like and what pieces you just removed. Believe me, when you start putting stuff back together your memory of what goes where and how it goes together will not match what you are looking at! If you don't have a camera that sketch it out. I generally use little dixie cups to hold the screws - there are about 50 million of them all the size of a grain of rice. david -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
