Stanton, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I've been sent links to instructions which involve taking the entire top of the computer off, including the keyboard, heat shield, modem, processor with RAM, HD, then the lid with the monitor, and then finally the bottom of the computer, including, seemingly, all the rest of the removeable components in the chassis, just to get to the backup, or clock battery. Are all these steps REALLY necessary? Yes, they are all necessary, except for the bottom, as the backup battery is just right of the trackpad and all of what you mention is in the way of you successfully getting to it. Be very careful, make sure you get out all the screws and keep track of where they belong, and be gently determined when you open your powerbook, wear a earthing device and use a Torx-8, small cross screwdriver and nonleading flat tool like a nylon blade tool (anyone know where these can be bought?), eating sticks, or certain plastic devices you clean under your nails with, and you'll be OK. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wallstreet I Ibackup battery replacement instructions needed. . .
Thanks to a previous request to this list, I've been sent links to instructions which involve taking the entire top of the computer off, including the keyboard, heat shield, modem, processor with RAM, HD, then the lid with the monitor, and then finally the bottom of the computer, including, seemingly, all the rest of the removeable components in the chassis, just to get to the backup, or clock battery. Are all these steps REALLY necessary? Doesn't anyone have a set of instructions for what is MINIMALLY required to get at this one component and to replace it and then reassemble the computer? Please help! I'll be very grateful, and I'll bet there are other list members who need to, or will, in the near future, need to replace this aging component. However, if one really must basically disassemble the entire computer, (this feels a bit scary and risky to me), do you know of anyone who would install a replacement battery for me at a reasonable price? Do YOU know how to do it? Might YOU be willing to do it for me? Thank you! All the best, stanton -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet I Ibackup battery replacement instructions needed. . .
Hi Stanton, Depending on time, etc. do it yourself. The confidence booster alone is worth it. If not, post a request on your local newsgroup for a tech who has a good rep. I even bought a Pram battery for a 3400 from a battery specialist (not a computer-related store). Take your old battery to a battery store (see the old-fashioned Yellow Pages) and they will/should gladly accept the challenge.
