Ce dont vous avez besoin

  1. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement, Battery: étape 1, image 1 de 1
    • Use a coin to turn both battery locking screws 90 degrees to the left.

    • Remove the battery cover.

    • Remove the battery from the computer by pulling up on the plastic tab.

  2. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement, Airport Card: étape 2, image 1 de 1
    • Pull the keyboard release tabs toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free. Note that the keyboard ribbon is still attached to the logic board, so you cannot completely remove the keyboard yet.

    • If the keyboard does not come free, use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the keyboard locking screw (between F4 and F5 key) 180 degrees in either direction and try again.

    • Rotate the keyboard away from the screen and rest it face-down on the trackpad area.

  3. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 3, image 1 de 1
    • If your computer does not have an airport card, you can skip the next two steps.

    • Grasp the clear plastic tab on the airport card and pull up and toward the display.

    Note to those who want to install an airport card to a laptop here that doesn't have a card. The proper orientation is with the bar code facing up, and the "Airport" artwork and logo facing down. There are small slots on the bottom of the card that fit into pins below the trackpad. You will know it is properly slotted because the top of the card will touch the handles of the RAM shield.

    The proper orientation of the antenna is that it is plugged in from the right side of the top of the airport card, with the cable winding up from the right to the left.

    • Hold the airport card in one hand and use your other hand to remove the antenna cable.

  5. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement, Keyboard: étape 5, image 1 de 1
    • Remove the two Phillips screws that secure the RAM shield.

  6. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 6, image 1 de 1
    • Grasp the wire metal bracket on top of the RAM shield and pull upward to remove the shield.

  7. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 7, image 1 de 1
    • Pull up the keyboard connector cable by its clear plastic loop.

  8. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement, Upper Case: étape 8, image 1 de 1
    • Use a straightened paperclip to manually eject the CD-ROM tray.

  9. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 9, image 1 de 1
    • Turn the computer over so that the bottom is facing up.

    • Remove the following Torx screws:

    • Four short T8 Torx near the battery compartment.

    • Two long T8 Torx near the hinges.

  10. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 10, image 1 de 1
    • Pull the CD-ROM drive tray partly out.

    • Remove the silver Phillips screw from the plastic casing.

    Note to people whose Clamshell ibook doesn't have the CD tray cover any more -- you do not have to open the drive for this part because when you flip the machine to remove the screw, it will be visible. The cover normally obscures this part.

    • Turn the computer over.

    • Remove the three Phillips screws.

    Please note: these screws can (and may!) strip easily, so take extra care in removing them!

    • This is a diagram of the trackpad ribbon clamp connector you will disconnect in the next step.

    • 1) With your fingernails, grasp the locking bar on either side and pull up a small amount (about 1/16" or 2 mm).

    • 2) After disengaging the locking bar, slide the cable out of the connector.

    In part 1, you can use a small flat-blade screwdriver to lift the locking bar. This will not put pressure on the cable itself. Each end of the locking bar will click when it has been lifted sufficiently.

    • Loosen the trackpad clamp by pulling the top piece up slightly, freeing the trackpad ribbon.

    • Slide the orange trackpad ribbon out of the clamp.

    Before going to the next step, remove 4 T8 screws from bottom of case.

    • Do not lift the upper case too far without first disconnecting the audio cable.

    • Push out the rim of the lower case and pull up on the upper case, grasping it just to the left of the optical drive.

    • Repeat the above step on the upper left corner of the upper case, grasping the bottom left corner of the upper case.

  15. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 15, image 1 de 1
    • Disconnect the audio cable.

  16. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 16, image 1 de 1
    • Grasp the upper case on either side of the keyboard space and rotate up and away from the screen.

    • You may be thinking you're about to break your upper case. Not to worry - the tabs holding the upper and lower cases together are very strong. Simply apply even pressure and continue to rotate the upper case up and away from the screen until it comes free.

    When replacing the upper case, test the trackpad button to make sure it clicks before proceeding. If it does not operate properly, remove the upper case and reattach it.

    Don Solomon - Réponse

    Once you free the back half, pull the the case forward, not up so much, or you’ll break the tabs on the sides by the optical drive on the right, and about the same place on the left.

    • Lift up on the optical drive while sequentially pushing the small plastic tabs one after another toward the screen to free one side of the drive.

    • Lift up the side of the optical drive you just freed and slide the drive out and away from the screen.

    • When reinstalling the optical drive, be sure that the drive tray is out far enough to slide under the lower casing rim.

    • If you have a CD or any other object jammed in your optical drive, we have an optical drive repair guide.

    • Remove the three small Phillips screws from the clutch cover.

    When reinstalling, hold the display so the clutch cover is flush with the panel below. Make sure no wires are caught before tightening the screws.

    Don Solomon - Réponse

    Note that there are small hooks that hold the clutch cover down. When reinstalling, be sure to hook the cover to them from the back, or you will have problems with the cover catching on the lid as you close it.

    When putting the computer back together, I recommend screwing down the clutch cover before the larger display screws, since the clutch cover can move around a lot.

  28. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 28, image 1 de 1
    • Finally, support the display with one hand while unscrewing the last Phillips screw from the right hinge (push the display gently down to avoid putting pressure on the screw).

    • Remove the display assembly.

    • When re-installing the display assembly, make sure that the clutch cover goes over the white plastic tabs protruding from the rear underside of the laptop.

  29. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement, EMI Shield: étape 29, image 1 de 1

    • Push out the lower case rim and pull the RJ-11 board out of the computer.

  31. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement: étape 31, image 1 de 1
    • Deroute the speaker cable from the metal framework and disconnect it from the logic board.

    I don’t believe you need to deroute the speaker cable; just disconnect it from the logic board and leave it taped on where it is.

    • There are six screws to remove (if you have an iBook without Firewire the screw circled in orange will not be present):

    • Two short, flat-headed Phillips screws near the battery compartment.

    • One short, round-headed Phillips near the speaker cable connector. (This is present on some models, but not others - especially the older ones)

    • One short, flat-headed Phillips between the ethernet and USB ports.

    • One short, flat-headed Phillips to the left of the hole-y (polite laughter) area.

    • One long, round-headed Phillips screw near the power receptacle.

    When reassembling, don’t forget to re run the audio cable through the hole in the EMI shield, the one just above the screw with the orange circle on the left side of the picture. Ask me how I know.

    • Lift the right side of the EMI shield up and pull it out of the computer.

    Note when reassembling, it is easy to bend the small shield tabs in the upper left area following the curve of the case when putting it back. So be careful.

  34. iBook G3 Clamshell Hard Drive Replacement, Hard Drive: étape 34, image 1 de 1
    • Remove the three 5 mm standoffs securing the hard drive to the logic board.

    If you don’t have a nut driver, loosen the standoffs with needle nosed pliers, and then thread a screw from one of the earlier steps into the standoff until it is snug, then unscrew the screw and the standoff as one.

    • Pull the hard drive cable up from the logic board, using the plastic loop.

    • Lift the hard drive, with metal bracket attached, from the logic board.

    Note that when reassembling the computer, there are small slots on the bottom of the hard drive bay frame that slot in to very small slots on the motherboard / logic board. If you have trouble putting the hard drive frame back on, check for these slots.
