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

    This part scared me, never in an iFixIt guide have I seen a warning like "trying times are ahead".

    I used a plastic iPod opening tool and ran it around the seam in the same order pictured. I had the plastic off in less than a minute with almost no fuss.

    • 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.

    I found it easier and "safer" to use a spudge at the back as well (two on each side of the hinge)

    • Remove the small greasy springs with white plastic caps from either side of the battery contacts.

  18. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement, Bottom Shield: adım 18, 1 resimden 1.
    • Remove the following 10 screws from the bottom shield:

    • Six 3 mm Phillips

    • Three 7.5 mm Phillips

    • One 14 mm Phillips

  19. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement: adım 19, 1 resimden 1.
    • Lift the bottom shield off.

  20. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement, DC-In Board: adım 20, 1 resimden 1.
    • Remove the single Phillips screw securing the DC-In board.

    You might not need to remove the entire DC-In board and cable. This is removed because the DC-In jack blocks the upper case from being lifted off. I just removed the screw and pushed the board slightly in when removing the upper case to provide clearance. You may want to tape the board loosely in place when the screw is out to prevent it from falling out.

    • Angle the DC-In board out of its compartment.

    • You may need to remove tape that secures the DC-In board cable to the case.

    You need to undo the adhesive halfway down the cable, so you can lift the DC board to angle it out correctly. beefybov

  24. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement, Upper Case: adım 24, 1 resimden 1.
    • Remove the following 11 screws from the bottom of the computer:

    • 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.

    On my model, both left-side screws are short and the (lower) right screw is the long one.

    • 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.

    • Remove the 3 Phillips screws from the edges of the keyboard area.

    • The shorter screw goes in the lower left corner. The left corner is indicated by a blue "L" in the photograph and is on the right side.

    A soft cloth like the one you use to clean your screen with. Not a towel because of the static that might be built up in heavier fabrics.

    2myownbeat - Yanıt

    The picture has the lower *right* screw marked as "L" -- but that's a mistake; the short screw is, as described, on the lower LEFT side.

    Peter King - Yanıt

    On my computer, the screw in lower right marked "L" (long?) in the picture is M3x6mm and the other two are M3x3mm.

    donestabrook - Yanıt

    Long screw goes into the right bottom corner - and the 3 mm on the left - at least at the computer I did.

    zhp - Yanıt

    Yes, the LONG screw goes into the bottom RIGHT corner if the screen is facing you as it does when you're using the computer.

    • Be especially careful while disconnecting the cables in the forthcoming steps. Never pull directly on the cables, but use a spudger to pry up the connector directly from its socket.

    • Lift the upper case and use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab.

    • Be careful while lifting the upper case, as its tabs are still hanging on the metal frame.

  27. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement: adım 27, 1 resimden 1.
    • The sockets attached to the motherboards of most iBooks are very weak and easily broken. Use extreme caution when pulling connectors out of their sockets.

    • Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails, carefully pry the connector from its socket.

    • Carefully disconnect the multicolored speaker cable from the logic board in the same fashion.

    use 2 tweezers instead: One with a fine tip to hold down the female socket and the other (or your fingernails) to pry up the male connector. That way you can better prevent the female socket to break off from the motherboard.

    Christian - Yanıt

    This is a very tough one. I did break both the power cable and speaker cable off the motherboard, and was unable to separate the motherboard-side connectors from the cable-side connectors even after that. Fortunately, this iBook was already bricked.

  28. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement, Top Shield: adım 28, 1 resimden 1.
    • Remove the following 16 screws:

    • Thirteen 3 mm Phillips.

    • One 3 mm Phillips.

    • Two 4 mm Phillips.

    • During reassembly, 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.

    on my model, the upper yellow screw and the orange screw were 3mm as well (red colour). So only the one right yellow screw was 4 mm.

    Paulix - Yanıt

    On my computer there is only one 4mm screw. The leftmost bottom right. The others are 3 mm. It is actually written on the shield: M2X3 = 3 mm. M2X4 = 4 mm.

    Paulix - Yanıt

    The little tabs on the shield that are intended to contact the metal on the ports and the optical drive had been flattened out on my iBook and were no longer in contact. I didn't notice this until I had installed the shield. Make sure the tabs are bent down a bit as to contact the ports and optical drive. This system looks like it replaced the foil tape on earlier models. Just my own observation.

    • Lift the top shield up from the right side, minding the upper left corner which may catch on the metal framework.

  30. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement, Hard Drive: adım 30, 1 resimden 1.
    • Remove the four Phillips screws securing the hard drive to the metal framework.

    • Remove the following three 3 mm Phillips screws from the metal AirPort card retaining bracket.

    • Lift the metal AirPort card retaining bracket up and out of the computer.

  31. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement: adım 31, 1 resimden 1.
    • Lift the free end of the hard drive up, enough for the brackets to clear the metal frame. Pull the hard drive out of its connector.

  32. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement, Hard Drive: adım 32, 1 resimden 1.
    • Remove the hard drive brackets from the left and right sides of the hard drive.

  33. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement: adım 33, 1 resimden 1.
    • Remove the two black T8 Torx screws from either side of the hard drive (four screws total).

  34. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Hard Drive Replacement: adım 34, 1 resimden 1.
    • Disconnect the hard drive connector from the hard drive.

    • This is a bit tricky. Try rocking the connector gently from side to side while applying even pressure. If you bend the pins, do your best to straighten them, using the hard drive cable as a guide.

    • If you are installing a new hard drive, we have an OS X install guide to get you up and running.

    iFixit,

    Thank you for this helpfull guide.

    It took me exactly 70 min. to swap the harddisk, this including a cup of coffee and a smoke between disassembly/assembly.

    Thumbs up!

Actually, I found a Phillips 0 (PH0) a better option on all the smallest screws than a PH00. That was at least my experience.

Paulix - Yanıt

My iBook G4 had some differences… there was a bracket retaining the HDD, screw placements weren't quite the same, the 'L' screw in Step 25 is actually a larger headed screw. Success achieved. Dead drive removed for destruction.

Monica I - Yanıt

Thank you community "iFixit". I just replaced the HD in an iBook G4 14 "with the help of the guide Walter Galan.

Great photos and precise instructions step by step.

Wow!! Who knew it would be so complicated?!? I just wanted to pull the hard drive out before recycling the old case and never would have figured it out on my own. Thanks so much for posting these instructions.

posting ID - Yanıt

A lot of these steps aren‘t necessary. Especially to save yourself the trouble: do not disconnect the power button and speaker-it works fine with having the shield next to the iBook with the cables still threaded through the metal sheet.
