[Ti] 17-inch PBG4 HD Upgrade?

[Photios Dumont]

I¹ve got tip, and this comes from experience... Don¹t over tighten the
screws, and make sure you use the proper screwdriver. I have found that a #0
works best. I bought mine at a True Value hardware store, Philips brand.
Anyway, the procedure is very easy. With the wrong screwdriver, you my
damage your screws, as they are not very robust.

Just wondering if anyone's had the guts to rip open their LunchTrayDeluxe
and swap out the HD?  I've got the takeapart instructions and I'm about to
purchase a 100 GB drive.  Are there any "sticking points" that aren't
obvious from the takeapart instructions?  I have opened many a G3 powerbook
as well as Titanium powerbooks.  I also have replaced a dead HD in a Dual
USB iBook, which was relatively harrowing - I only had 1 screw left over, so
I did pretty well 8^D.

Anyhow, any tips or tricks or experiences anyone has for opening the 17-inch
Powerbook are appreciated.  The takeapart instructions from the Service
Manual seem straightforward, but I just *know* Apple left out something that
would be obvious to an experienced tech.

Thanks,

Peter
