Installing iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz Keyboard

Step 1 Battery



• Use a coin to rotate the battery locking screw 90 degrees clockwise.
• Lift the battery out of the computer.
Step 2 Keyboard

• Pull the keyboard release tabs (shown in yellow) toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free.
• If the keyboard does not come free, use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the keyboard locking screw (shown in orange) 180 degrees in either direction and try again.
• Flip the keyboard over, away from the screen, and rest it face-down on the trackpad area.
Step 3
• Loosen the four silver Phillips screws that secure the RAM shield.
• These screws will not come out all the way. The screws are held captive to the RAM shield to prevent them from getting lost.
Step 4
• Remove the RAM shield from the computer.
• The four captive screws will come out with the RAM shield.
Step 5
• Pull the keyboard cable up from the logic board, holding the cable as close to the connector as possible.
• When reassembling your iBook, make sure that you reconnect the keyboard cable before replacing the RAM shield.
