    • 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.

  4. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 4, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the RAM shield from the computer.

    • The four captive screws will come out with the RAM shield.

  11. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 11, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Breathe deeply. Trying times are ahead, but we promise the lower case does come off.

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

  12. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 12, 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.

  21. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 21, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Angle the DC-In board out of its compartment.

    • You may need to remove tape that secures the DC-In board cable to the case.

  22. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 22, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Lift the DC-In cable from the adhesive attaching it to the logic board.

  23. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 23, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Disconnect the DC-In cable from the logic board.

    • Wiggling the connector parallel to the surface of the logic board while applying slight tension may aid in removal.

  25. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 25, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • We recommend placing the computer on a soft cloth from this point on to prevent damaging the logic board.

    • Turn over the computer and open it.

    • Remove the 3 Phillips screws from the edges of the keyboard area.

    • The shorter screw goes in the lower left corner. The left corner is indicated by a blue "L" in the photograph and is on the right side.

  26. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 26, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Be especially careful while disconnecting the cables in the forthcoming steps. Never pull directly on the cables, but use a spudger to pry up the connector directly from its socket.

    • Lift the upper case and use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab.

    • Be careful while lifting the upper case, as its tabs are still hanging on the metal frame.

  27. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • The sockets attached to the motherboards of most iBooks are very weak and easily broken. Use extreme caution when pulling connectors out of their sockets.

    • Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails, carefully pry the connector from its socket.

    • Carefully disconnect the multicolored speaker cable from the logic board in the same fashion.

  28. iBook G4 14" 1.42 GHz AirPort Extreme Card Replacement, Top Shield: stap 28, afbeelding 1 van 1

When reinstalling the two screws in step 10, make sure that they are the correct length. There is no margin for error here. You can damage the board with the battery contacts. The screws are 4.5mm with small heads. And.. I will never admit that I'm speaking from experience!
