  10. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 10、 1の画像 1
    • Breathe deeply. Trying times are ahead, but we promise the lower case does come off.

    • Push the thin rims of the lower case surrounding the battery compartment in, bending them past the tabs, and then lift up to free that corner of the lower case.

  11. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 11、 1の画像 1
    • There is a slot on the wall of the battery compartment that locks the lower case in place. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry out the slot's lower rim and pull up on the lower case to free the slot from the tabs holding it.

    • The front and sides of the lower case are now free.

    • Turn the computer so that the back is facing you and pull the lower case up and toward you until the back tabs pop free.

    • It may be helpful to jiggle the case up and down.

  16. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 16、 1の画像 1
    • Remove the small greasy springs with white plastic caps from either side of the battery contacts.

    • Have patience and follow the directions, the end result is up to you.

    • Deroute the cable from around the optical drive, removing tape as necessary.

    • Disconnect the DC-In cable from the logic board and angle the DC-In board out of its compartment.

  21. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement, Upper Case: 手順 22、 1の画像 1
    • Remove the two 3 mm Phillips screws inside the left edge of the battery tray.

    • Three 3 mm Phillips around the battery compartment.

    • Three 4.5 mm Phillips along the optical drive bezel. (a magnetic screwdriver may help to lift these screws out)

    • One 12 mm Phillips in the lower right corner.

    • Four 14.5 mm Phillips.

  22. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 23、 1の画像 1
    • We recommend placing the computer on a soft cloth from this point on to prevent damaging the logic board.

    • Turn over the computer and open it.

    • Use the flat side of a flathead screwdriver to remove the small magnet covering a screw near the middle of the computer.

    • The shorter screw goes in the lower left corner.

  23. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 24、 1の画像 1
    • Remove the following 7 screws from the edges of the keyboard area.

    • Three 2 mm Phillips along the right edge.

    • One 4.5 mm Phillips underneath where the magnet was.

    • One 6 mm Phillips with a small head in the lower left corner.

    • Two 6 mm Phillips with large heads, one in the upper left corner and one in the middle.

  24. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 25、 1の画像 1
    • Before you can yank the upper case off, you must disconnect the trackpad connector, the blue and white power cable, and speaker cable as described in the next steps. Be especially careful with these cables; never pull directly on the cables, but use a spudger to pry up the connector directly.

    • Carefully lift the upper case slightly and move it toward the front of the computer to reveal the trackpad connector. Use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab.

    • After disconnecting the track pad connector, carefully rotate the upper case away from you and rest it against the display.

  25. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 26、 1の画像 1
    • The connectors at the ends of the following cables are attached very firmly to the sockets on the logic board. Pulling directly on the cable will either separate the cable from its connector or the socket from the logic board.

    • Use the sharp end of a spudger to disconnect the speaker cable connector.

  26. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 27、 2の画像 1 iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 27、 2の画像 2
    • Using the sharp end of a spudger, disconnect the connector for the blue and white power cables. Again, be careful to pry up only on the connector.

    • It is very easy to break the connector from the board, so be careful.

    • The key is to apply force in two directions, down to keep the surface board connections intact, up to release the connector.

    • The upper case is now free and can be removed from the computer.

  27. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement, Top Shield: 手順 28、 1の画像 1
    • Remove the fifteen 3 mm Phillips screws securing the top shield to the computer.

    • Remove the following 16 screws:

    • Thirteen 3 mm Phillips.

    • One 3 mm Phillips. (actual screw not present in image)

    • Two 4 mm Phillips.

    • Be sure to fit the screw near the left hinge through the loop in the display data cable, securing the cable to the upper case.

  28. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 29、 1の画像 1
    • Lift the top shield up from the right side, minding the upper left corner, which may catch on the metal framework.

    • When reassembling, make sure you pull the antenna cable all the way through the slot in the middle. It is extremely hard to pull it back through after the top shield is screwed back in.

  29. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement, AirPort/Bluetooth Board: 手順 30、 1の画像 1
    • Remove the following three screws:

  31. iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement: 手順 32、 1の画像 1
    • Hold the AirPort/Bluetooth board in one hand and use a spudger to disconnect the two antenna cables.

I've done this procedure successfully 3 times. On my fourth attempt, I fell victim to the dreaded Speaker Jack Motherboard Disconnection Nightmare.

Oh the silent humanity. Sound still works from the audio out jack, but I'll add my voice to the "hold the jack down to the motherboard while you unplug the connector" chorus. You might even try carefully applying superglue to the jack to the motherboard BEFORE attempting to remove the little connector from the dainty, fragile jack.

I wouldn't have even attempted this procedure without Walter Galan's excellent iFixIt base walk-through. Thanks Walter!
