My macaholic friend was over to help me install a new DVD-RW in my
newly
acquired G4 sawtooth tower. He has full sets of both metric and
standard
allen wrenches and sets of torx, nothing fit - finally had to grind
one to
fit. What are these things? ( the wide head screws 2 per corner)
Corner of what? What are you trying to take apart? I don't recall such
screws.
On my Sawtooth, I open the big side door, unplug the ribbon connectors
at the rear, and remove the shield. Then I remove the front door cover
panel. It pops off by depressing the plastic tabs on one side and
pulling it out from that side, and has short tabs that fit slots on
the opposite side -- works on kind of the same principal the battery
cover on a remote does. There are two small screws, Phillips I think,
one on either side of the media cage. After unscrewing them, the cage
should then slide forward and out, IIRC. Once it's out, you can
unscrew the CD drive and replace it with the new DVD_RW, then slide it
back in the same way it came out in reverse order.
I could be wrong, but........
All the best,
Ken N.

For the complete instruction on dissasembly you should get, the "G4
Install Manual.pdf" from the apple web page. It describes and shows how
to take almost everything apart.

I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have
you got a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"
