<FONT FACE="Lucida Grande, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I’ve got tip, and this comes from experience... Don’t 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.<BR>

<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
