<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><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.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>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.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks,</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Peter<DIV><BR><DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Helvetica">A little computer haiku:</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Helvetica">I can't remember<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Helvetica">the last time I restarted</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Helvetica">I love OS X</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 16px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Helvetica">This message sent with Mail.app 2.0 on Mac OS X 10.4</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Helvetica"><A href="mailto:pkrug@mac.com">pkrug@mac.com</A></FONT></DIV> <BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </DIV><BR></DIV></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></BODY></HTML>
