The other day I posted a query about the ring or bushing surrounding the battery retaining screw on my iBook 1.25GHz. I thank all who provided me with advice. I am getting the part replace via Apple Care. I need to drop my iBook off for a day. If I remove the User file from the computer, will the technician be able to replace the bottom of the iBook? I'd prefer not to leave personal info etc at the eyes and hands of someone I don't know. Any constructive suggestions are greatly appreciated. I thank you all in advance. Cheers. Murray
