There is quite a lot of parts interchangeability between 12-inch G3 and G4 iBooks, and also between 14-inch models of the same laptops, especially hard drives, keyboards and LCD panels. But that's a broad generalization that you need to be careful about when selling parts. The most important thing for you to do before you part out your iBook G4 is to ascertain exactly which model it is.

I used 2 iFixit kits to replace batteries in an iPhone 7 Plus and an iPhone X this week. Both jobs went smoothly, thanks to these online guides.

Wow! iFixit is the best resource for Apple do-it-yourselfers. Thank you!
