The other day, I decided that I wanted to recover the hard drive from my old and broken iBook G4. Some of you may be thinking that since the MacBook has an easily accessible hard drive compartment so the iBook must have one as well, I wish this were true. In order to get this hard drive, I had to undo some 30 odd screws and in doing so, stripped a brand new screwdriver to the point of uselessness.
In other words, taking apart a “MacTop” is not an easy process (unless you just want to access the RAM) and most of us will need some sort of help in order to carry out this task. For us, there is PowerBookMedic. They offer free take apart manuals for everything from the MacBook and MacBook Pro, all the way to the lowly iBook Clamshell and the PowerBook G3.
There are many sites which would charge you for these invaluable guides, but PowerBookMedic has provided them to the public, completely free of charge.
These manuals tell you everything you need to know to completely take apart your laptop. However, they are missing a guide for the 14 inch iBook. This is problematic because although it is almost 100% identical to the 12 inch version, there are more screws in more places, some of which are extremely hard to find. They are also lacking one for the MacBook Air.
