Repeat after me 50 times, "Putting screws anywhere in the ibook ( or 
other computers) is a VERY BAD IDEA. As one person reported, losing a 
screw in an ibook can cost as much as $350 to remove it so it doesn't 
damage or short out any components. ALWAYS have a sazfe place outside 
the computer where you can place the screws in the order in which they 
were removed and where they won't get spilled if someone knocks the 
container over. Empty pill bottle or boxes are ideal for this. Get a 
seven day pill box the next time you are at a Dollar store and use it 
to isolate each type of screw and label where it came from. Much 
cheaper and less nerve-racking when things go wrong.
