Don't know about the pics, but in actual practice tightening the hinge screws is easy--no need to remove anything but the two little plastic covers on each end of the monitor hinge. Just pinch the front and back of these covers together with your fingers to disengage the tabs, then lift up. Careful with the right cover because the monitor ribbon is inside it. IIRC you need a #8 torx to tighten the screws--just be careful not to overtighten and snap the heads off the screws.
Many seemingly dead PB 5xx batteries can be brought back; e-mail off-list if you want some instructions for this. Used RAM is really cheap for these machines; IIRC 32 MB cost me about $40 off eBay. To read from my external HD, the HD has to be switched on before booting. If you don't do this you'll need SCSI mounting software to mount this disk after booting. My external RW drive requires Toast and/or Adaptec Direct CD for writing. Make sure you have a terminator immediately between the PB and the SCSI cable leading to your external drive--I fried my internal HD once when I forgot this terminator.
