    • Breathe deeply. Trying times are ahead, but we promise the lower case does come off.

    • Push the thin rims of the lower case surrounding the battery compartment in, bending them past the tabs, and then lift up to free that corner of the lower case.

  16. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • There is a slot on the wall of the battery compartment that locks the lower case in place. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry out the slot's lower rim and pull up on the lower case to free the slot from the tabs holding it.

  17. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 17, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Run a spudger along the seam between the lower case and upper case on the front of the computer to free the tabs locking the lower case. Pull up on the lower case and continue to use the spudger as necessary until you hear three distinct clicks.

  18. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Continue to run the spudger around the front, right corner. There are two tabs on the port side of the computer, one near the front corner and one near the sound out port.

    • Once the front and sides of the lower case are free, turn the computer so that the back is facing you and pull the lower case up and toward you until the back tabs pop free (it may be helpful to jiggle the case up and down).

    • Use tweezers (or a refrigerator magnet) to remove the magnet covering a Phillips screw near the middle of the computer.

  26. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 26, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • This is a diagram of the trackpad ribbon clamp connector you will disconnect in the next step.

    • 1) With your fingernails, grasp the locking bar on either side and pull up a small amount (about 1/16" or 2 mm).

    • 2) After disengaging the locking bar, slide the cable out of the connector.

  29. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 29, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • Before you can jerk the upper case off with joy, you must disconnect both the blue and white power cable and red and black speaker cable as described in the next steps.

    • Lift the upper case from the left side and use your other hand to pull out the right side in order to clear the power receptacle.

    • There may be a thin metal bar fastened to the upper case by the two screws on either side of the optical drive. This bar provides rigidity around the optical drive; don't forget it when reassembling.

  31. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 31, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • The connectors at the ends of the cables are attached very firmly to the sockets on the logic board. Pulling directly on the cable will either separate the cable from its connector or the socket from the logic board.

    • Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails or a dental pick, carefully pry the connector from its socket. Make sure you're pulling only on the connector and not on the socket.

  32. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 32, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Lift the upper case off completely and disconnect the red and black speaker cable from the logic board. As before, make sure you're pulling only on the connector and not on the socket.

  33. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 33, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • There is a magnet that allows the computer to detect when the laptop is closed. If this magnet is not present your computer will not automatically go to sleep. Be sure the magnet is in the position indicated.

    • Your laptop should look approximately like this.

  35. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 35, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • One 2.5 mm Phillips.

    • Six 3.5 mm Phillips.

    • One 4.5 mm Phillips near the sleep light with a small shaft.

    • Two 4.5 mm Phillips with larger shafts.

    • Four 5 mm Phillips

    • If a screw is inserted in the left hole, the 14.2 mm screw in step 24 can not be inserted to hold the top case down.

  36. iBook G3 12" Top Shield Replacement: stap 36, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Peel back three strips of yellow tape in the bottom left corner.

    • Peel back one strip of foil tape in the upper left corner and another near where the trackpad connects to the logic board.
