When putting the keyboard back in, be sure to slip the Z ribbon through the slot so that it can be locked back in. Be sure that it is locked well.
Great guide. All in all, this is pretty easy but I've hit a snag with the hard drive. I have a PowerBook5,6 and a PowerBook5,9.
I want to simply transfer the actual hard drive from my older model to the 17" model. The SSD works fine in my 15" PowerBook but the 17" doesn't see it. It boots to a grey screen and stays there. When I boot from my Leopard install DVD, that works but Disk Utilities doesn't show a hard drive at all. I rechecked cables & attachments.
The 480GB SSD is formatted with Apple Partition Map and OS Extended Journaled. It works fine when I return it to the 15" and the 17" works fine with its IDE drive.
I thought this would be an easy swap. What might I be missing? What is different with the A1139?
Thanks.
Not sure why, but my 17” PowerBook5,9 A1139 just doesn’t like the 480GB OWC Legacy Mercury Electra G3 SSDs. I did not try smaller OWC SSDs. I eventually found that KingSpec 512GB PATA/IDE SSD works fine on the first go. Previously, I was using a Western Digital Scorpion Blue 320GB, WD3200BEVE
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my WD to the KingSpec, then checked and verified the KingSpec before disassembling the PowerBook and installing the new drive. I have two USB adapters for PATA/IDE drives. One uses a single connector, the other uses a 2nd USB connector for additional power. The KingSpec worked better with the dual USB connector adapter. With the single USB, the driver would intermittently disappear and only reappear if disconnected/reconnected.
As an additional note/suggestion, I keep a bootable harddrive back-up on an external firewire drive. This older PowerBookG4 won’t boot from a USB drive. Having a current back-up on an external bootable firewire drive comes in very handy.

hi, do you use a genuine ssd with IDE connections or do you use an adapter ( like Renkforce etc) with mSata ? my powerbook only could recognize the mSata on my Renkforce adapter when I removed the little cable selector pin on the adapter. ( automatically master) After that it was recognized instantly.

Very nicely done, thank you. Would this instruction work for an PowerBook G4 Aluminum 17" 1.33 GHz model as well?
Thanks!
