I use iFixit all the time. It has the best take apart guides I've found on the internet. And yes, I've taken apart quite a few G4 iBooks, and some of them more then once. :) -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup Websites - Low Cost Custom Websites On Dec 28, 2009, at 2:40 PM, bhealthyag...@aol.com wrote: Sounds like you've taken one apart?

Re: Not about Re: eMac hardware problem. n
Do you have the problem that plagues me with repairing laptops? When you take it apart, all is fine, each screw seems willing to be removed (sometimes with a bit of force)... but when you put it back together, you ALWAYS have one screw left over, and yet all the screw holes are filled? I have had that happen so many times, one of my laptops has a section in my leftover screws box that has about 12, and that's from a single laptop, yet it always goes back together just fine, and all the screw holes are filled still...

that does seem like a problem that it could throw at you, the capicitors could be faulty, and the eMac could be shutting off because of either a short, or a power drop, for safty's sake.

Re: Not about Re: eMac hardware problem. n
Or, as you are taking something out, put the screw into the part, as long as the hole for that part isn't on the laptop itself. If that's the case, then you put the screw into the hole in the laptop. Takes a little longer but it works, as that is what I learned to do when working on motorcycles that if you don't put all the screws into an engine, things could be more than just not working. -Original Message- From: Christian Wacker pizzaboy...@gmail.com To: imaclist imaclist@googlegroups.com Sent: Mon, Dec 28, 2009 6:05 pm Subject: Re: Not about Re: eMac hardware problem. n Theoritically, yes, but when you have to make up the instructions for most Windows laptops to take them apart as you go, you sometimes forget that a certain screw goes with a certain part, and... vola! you have leftover screws.
