Notes

  • Installing PowerBook G4 Titanium Onyx Display

    As you remove the screws that connect the display to the trackpad, the display will detach from the base of the laptop. As the display is now hanging over the side of your work surface, it will fall off when you detach the last screw connecting the display to the trackpad. Be certain not to let it fall and put strain on the inverter cable.

  • Installing PowerBook G4 Titanium Onyx Logic Board

    Two other connectors need to be disconnected before you can take out the logic board. One is the power connector which is out of the frame of this photo to the bottom right. The other is the audio connector, out of the frame of this photo to the bottom left, on the left side of the board.

  • Installing PowerBook G4 Titanium Onyx DVD Drive

    You don't actually have to bend the EMI clip. You can use a 2mm or smaller slotted screwdriver to pry the clip up and out.

  • Installing PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Modem Filter Board

    When replacing the logic board, be careful not to lose the top connector's wires under the plate beneath the modem filter board.

  • Installing PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board

    To remove the screw by the battery case, you'll have to first remove the tape covering the connector that leads to the trackpad.

  • Installing PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Optical Drive Removal

    The pink and white inverter cable connection to the inverter board is very tight. Grasp the notch on the right side of the white connector with needle nose pliers and gently wiggle and pull it out of the socket.

  • Installing PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Keyboard

    The keyboard connector can be very tightly connected. Use caution and a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it up from the board. The left side of the connector (left as shown in the photo) is easier to grasp than the right, so grab it on that side with the pliers and pull carefully. It will come off.
