Step 5
¶
-
The ZIF cable is located underneath the bottom RAM slot. If your PowerBook has both RAM slots occupied, make sure to remove the RAM chip.
-
Use your fingernails to separate the ZIF cable lock away from its socket. (Move the two brown bits down 1mm)
-
The ZIF cable lock will move about a millimeter away from the socket before it stops (see picture 2). Do not try to remove the ZIF cable lock.

Step 8
¶
-
Remove the four 3.4 mm Phillips screws from the DVI connector side of the PowerBook.
-
When replacing these screws, you must reinstall each screw in the correct order. Begin by installing the screw closest to the display hinge, and go out from there.
-
During reassembly, make sure to reinstall the two screws on the right into their appropriate locations, and not the DVI port anchor holes.
