I've had 4 or 5 of these 12-inch PBs brought to me after customers couldn't figure out how to reassemble. Nothing is more fun than a ziploc bag of screws and other hardware.  They usually succeed in losing at least one of the keycaps, or breaking the plastic latches inside the battery compartment, which means that the top case just won't seat completely. Finicky little beasts!

Yeah, I gotten some ibooks in boxes after a failed HD replacement. Sometimes I'll get calls/inquiries on how to reattach the connection where the power cable from the top case of an ibook plugs into the logic board. (Ouch!)

No, the memory is much simpler. Flip your PowerBook over, and remove 4 screws from the small panel on the bottom, and there's your memory slot. If you only need memory, that takes less than 2 minutes. You also have to remove that panel, which has one screw inside that goes up into the keyboard.

no you dont have to take off the keyboard to add ram, but the hard drive yes, but you have to take off the memory door on the bottom, and theres a black screw that hold the keyboard down from the bottom, you have to take that off, and the F1,F2 and F11 and F12 keys, take out the silver screws and the keybard will slide up, be careful pulling it up, you have to disconnect the ribbon, be care full dont grab it and pull, take a flat head and kind of rotate it, and the ribbon will disconnect, take out all the the screws, and allen heads next to the powerbutton and left side. the left screw is longer, so dont forget where it goes, keep in mind that not all of the screws are the same size Good Luck |

Hi, I'm not sure if it would help but ifixit has a number of repair guides with photos taking you through dis-assembly and reassembly. Ralph http://www.ifixit.com/ |
