Lift the battery out of the computer.

Slide the memory door away from the memory compartment.
I recommend that you have several (ie 10-12) little cups nearby with a pen and some small scraps of paper to write on. As you remove screws, step by step, place that step's screws into one cup and label it "Step #X". That way, when you're putting everything back together, you won't have to guess as to which screws were for which step. I did this, on a recommendation of a friend who did this very same repair, and it made the reassembly even easier.
I found that a plastic ice cube tray works best in these situations.

-
Turn the computer 90 degrees clockwise so that the hinge faces you.
-
Remove the bottom 5 mm Phillips screw on either side of the hinge (two total).
By "bottom", it means the top ones (if the computer were right-side-up), i.e. the ones closer to the lid.
-
-
-
Rotate the computer 90 degrees clockwise, so that the ports face you.
-
Remove the three 3 mm Phillips screws.
Don't be hasty! I've seen 2 laptops with a forlorn screw trapped in a video port screwhole, from where it's very difficult, if not impracticable, to remove it.

I've done that. Was not fun extracting the screw. I had to use a a large speaker magnet to get it out.

Grasp the back corners of the upper case and pull up. Do not pull the upper case off yet; you still need to disconnect the keyboard and trackpad cable.
-
Lift the back of the case up and work your fingers along the sides, freeing the case as you go. Once you have freed the sides, you may need to rock the case up and down to free the front of the upper case.
-
-
-
Rotate the upper case up and toward the screen, so that the upper case rests against it.
For this stage I found Step 9 and Step 10 in the guide for Hard Drive replacement were helpful in expanding on removal of top cover. See link here : PowerBook G4 Aluminum 15" 1-1.5 GHz Hard Drive Replacement

Remove the 9.5 mm silver Phillips screw from the top of the right ambient light sensor board.

Remove the two black Phillips screws from the right speaker.

Lift the speaker away from the logic board and place it aside

Disconnect the DC-In connector from the left side of the logic board.
It may be easier to disconnect the DC-in connector from the DC-Sound board end of the connector rather than from the logic board side of the connector
-

-
-
Grasp the logic board at the left edge with one hand and at the thinnest section with the other hand. Lift the left edge of the board up to approximately a 30 degree angle (if you don't have your protractor handy, just lift until the DVI port clears the right hinge).
-
Once the logic board clears the ports, slide it out to the left.
Great guide! Fantastic idea in the comments to print the instructions and then tape the screws by the step as you go. I found that it was easier to remove the screen and hinges before taking out the logic board. It made it much easier to remove and replace the right side of the logic board.

With your spudger still inserted under the front display bezel, run it around the lower left corner of the display.

Rotate the spudger away from yourself to pry the rear display bezel off the aluminum tabs on the front display bezel.
-
Work your way down the side of the display until the rear display bezel has been separated from the front display bezel.

-
-
Repeat the previous steps to separate the right side of the rear display bezel from the display.

Use your spudger to pry the plastic retaining clips on the rear display bezel over the raised aluminum tabs on the front display bezel.

At this point, the clips on the left and right edges of the rear display bezel should be free from the raised aluminum tabs on the front display bezel. If they are not, use a spudger to pry them past the front display bezel.
