  • Stripped screw on upper case of iBook G3 Clamshell 300 MHz; need to extract... how? Apr 22 @ 10:24 AM

    I am trying to help repair a friend's iBook G3 Clamshell by replacing the hard drive with a new 30GB drive. I had managed to get the keyboard, RAM shield, and the bottom screws off, but there's a badly stripped screw underneath the keyboard that needs to be removed in order to pull off the upper case of the iBook. It looks to be pretty bad, as well; the stripping is down deep.

    I can't remove the screw, and I don't want to damage the upper case's plastic. Can anyone give me any advice on how to get the screw out?

  • Replaced iPod nano 1st gen LCD; still displays all white and hums Feb 26 @ 4:30 PM

    I just replaced the bad LCD of a 1st gen iPod nano with a new one from iFixit. The old LCD was displaying only all white when hooked to a PC, and there was a quiet humming sound coming from the nano.

    I replaced the LCD, but the same symptoms still show. I also can't get the nano to respond to the click wheel, and the hold switch is off when I attempt to use the click wheel.

    I'm thinking that there may be something else wrong with the nano. Does anyone else have any ideas what could be the issue?
