[. . . ] With the display open at an angle greater than 90 degrees, carefully flip the PowerBook over and lay it flat, fully on the table. Make sure the display hangs over the edge of the table and rests lightly on your lap. (Figure 1B) Important: Do not open the display farther than the angle shown. Remove the battery by sliding the battery latch to the left. [. . . ] (Figure 4) Important: Do not push on the rubber feet of the bottom case. Figure 4 PowerBook G4 Hard Drive - 3 9. Touch the computer's inside framework (a dull gray conductive composite material) to discharge any static electricity, as shown. (Figure 6) Important: To avoid electrostatic discharge damage, always ground yourself by touching the computer's framework before you touch any parts or install any components inside the computer. To avoid static electricity building back up in your body, do not walk around the room until you have completed your installation and closed the computer. Figure 6 PowerBook G4 Hard Drive - 4 Removing the Installed Hard Drive 1. With your fingers, carefully pry up the hard drive flex cable connector (Figure 7A) at its sides to disconnect it from the logic board. You may need to pry one side, then the other, in a rocking motion. With a Torx T8 screwdriver, remove the two screws (Figure 8) that secure the hard drive to the mounting bracket and then gently remove the hard drive. Important: Do not pull on the flex cable or use the cable as a handle. Figure 8 Note: There are four rubber stoppers on the hard drive that fit over screws (two on each side). Line up the rubber stoppers on the hard drive until they fully seat into the holes in the bracket. Note: To help with alignment, the Torx T8 screwdriver can be inserted into the screws on the hard drive through the holes in the mounting bracket. Important: Verify that the bottom of the mounting bracket clears and seats behind a thin metal ridge located along the bottom of the battery compartment. Replace the screw (Figure 12C) in the top of the mounting bracket, being careful not to overtighten it. Connect the hard drive's flex cable connector (Figure 13) to the logic board. Figure 13 PowerBook G4 Hard Drive - 8 Closing the Computer 1. To attach the bottom case, align the notches on the right and left sides of the case, then press down slightly to secure the case. Check the alignment of the eight screw holes to make sure the bottom case is properly positioned. Important: Make sure that the seams between the bottom case and the frame are closed. Check the outside edges and around the battery well. Verify that the alignment tab on the underside of the bottom case (Figure 14A) has seated, and the case lies flat. [. . . ] Look at the optical drive slot to make sure that the case is properly secured. If a gap exists below the slot, gently pull the bottom of the optical drive slot toward you until it clicks into place and the gap is removed. (Figure 16) Figure 16 ® PowerBook G4 Hard Drive - 10 5.
