必要な工具と部品
-
-
Use a coin to turn the battery locking screw 90 degrees clockwise.
-
Lift the battery out of the computer.
-
-
-
Remove the following 10 screws:
-
Two 3 mm Phillips in the battery compartment, on either side of the battery contacts.
-
Four 3 mm Phillips around the memory compartment.
-
Four 16 mm Phillips along the hinge.
-
-
-
Remove the memory compartment cover.
-
Remove the two 12 mm Phillips screws on the Aluminum bracket at the top of the memory compartment.
I have an Aluminum PowerBook G4 1.67Ghz since 2006.
3/4 (from bottom to top) of the LCD becomes either black or is jumbled each time I turn on the MAC or move the screen. I need to press the LCD at several locations in order for this problem to go.... any advice ?

-
Rotate the computer 90 degrees clockwise so the ports face you.
-
Remove the three 3 mm Phillips screws along the edge of the lower case.
-
When replacing these screws, you must install them in the correct order. Begin by installing the screw closest to the display hinge, then work your way toward the front of the computer. Also, be careful not to put the screws in the two holes on either side of the video out port.

-
Rotate the upper case up and toward the screen, so that the upper case rests against it.
First of all, awesome guide. I am using it in July 2015, and there is no way I could have successfully navigate the typical Apple laptop Rubik's cube of Powerbook maintenance.
Second, there is a REAL trick to removing the upper case here, and it involves knowing what those stupid internal metal catches look like so you can free them without folding your aluminum case into a pretzel.

-
Remove the amber tape securing the trackpad ribbon to the logic board.
-
Disconnect the trackpad ribbon from the logic board by pulling up on the connector.
-
Remove the upper case from the computer.
-
-
-
Remove the two 3 mm Phillips screws securing the left ambient light sensor. One is silver and one is black, or both black.
-
Disconnect the cable from the Logic board and remove the left ambient light sensor from your computer.
-
-
-
Disconnect the left speaker cable.
-
-
-
Lift the PC card cage up and remove it from the computer.
I couldn't disconnect the cage from the eject button here. Possibly because the speaker is still attached but its hard to see how the button is attached to the cage.
-
-
-
Remove the silver Phillips screw.
-
Remove the 5 mm hex nut screw.
-
Disconnect the power cable and the speaker cable from the DC & sound board (connectors highlighted in yellow boxes).
-
-
-
Disconnect the RJ-11 cable from the modem.
My replacement part fot the DC / Sound board was new, and did not include the RJ-11 connector and cable. From the old part, the RJ-11 port is the gray connector next to the power connector. Grasp the RJ-11 connector, and slide it off of the DC / Sound board (there is no retainer nor clips, friction holds it in place). The RJ-11 connector can then be moved to the new part, just sliding into the square cut-out next to the power connector.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

The Tools Used list specifies a #6 Torx wrench, but in step 7 it says a 1.5mm hex wrench is preferred. This is good to know ahead of time since a #6 Torx wrench is not available from the local hardware store, but a 1.5mm hex wrench is.
THANKS for the clear, accurate help! your tutorial did the job - bravo!
Great guide - i fixed my PB G4 1,67 without any troubles. My DC-in board had a burned through capacitor. Now it´s loading again the battery and recognizes the powerplug.
Thank you!
