PowerBook G4 Aluminum 15" 1.5-1.67 GHz DC & Sound Card Replacement

Difficult

My Problem

My Powerbook G4 Aluminum would not charge any longer. The battery was just fine, it just could not charge so it must have been the DC & Sound Card.

My Fix

It went well. It took a little while as I need to completely remove pretty much everything to get to the DC & Sound Card, a pain but fun none the less. The tricky part was keeping in order all the freaking screws and where they went. It was a bit of trial and error when reassembling the computer. The repair went well, and the good old Powerbook is up and running.

My Advice

Keep track of where the screws go and which sizes go where. It can save you time during reassembly. ;)
