  20. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement: Schritt 20, Bild 1 von 1
    • Lift the DC-In board out of the computer by pulling up and away from you.

    • If you don't have a 667 MHz computer, there is a fan in this location which makes it a bit difficult to remove the DC-In board.

    • If there is a fan present, rotate the DC-In board slightly clockwise before easing it out at a slight angle in order to clear the fan clamp on top of it.

  21. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement, Modem Filter Board: Schritt 21, Bild 1 von 1
    • Before continuing, place a soft cloth on your work surface to rest the computer on. Turn the G4 over and place it on the cloth.

    • Disconnect the four indicated connectors from the logic board.

    • The large multicolor cable may be difficult to free.

    • The top center cable may not need to be disconnected to remove the modem filter board. It connects to the logic board fan to its immediate left, which is attached to the logic board itself.

  22. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement: Schritt 22, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the T8 Torx screw near the heat pipe.

  23. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement: Schritt 23, Bild 1 von 1
    • Disconnect the two connectors from the modem filter board.

    • To the immediate right of the modem filter board, the heatsink has two sets of five fins with a double-wide space in between them. This space is where the gray & black coiled wire is supposed to go to ensure a flush fit.

  24. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement: Schritt 24, Bild 1 von 1

  25. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement: Schritt 25, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the modem filter board from the computer by pulling up and to the right.

    • There is a small plastic post which helps hold the modem filter board in place. You need to clear this post to remove the modem filter board from the computer.

  26. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement, Logic Board: Schritt 26, Bild 1 von 1
    • Turn the G4 over.

    • Remove the seven T8 Torx screws from the logic board.

    • The five black screws go on the right side of the logic board, the large silver screw goes at the top, and the small silver screw is located on the left side.

  27. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement: Schritt 27, Bild 1 von 1
    • Disconnect the 5 indicated connectors from the logic board, removing tape as necessary.

    • Reassembly Tip: Reseating the logic board will be much easier if you use kapton tape to hold these five connectors out of the way until it is in place.

    • Caution: If taping the connectors back, be careful not to use tape with anything but very weak adhesive (i.e. kapton tape). Even electrical tape can pull the paint off the hinges when removed.

  28. PowerBook G4 Titanium DVI Logic Board Replacement: Schritt 28, Bild 1 von 1
    • Carefully lift the logic board up and pull it away from you.

    • This step requires some force, but if the logic board will not come up, make sure that you have removed all the necessary screws and connectors. Warming the heatsink with a heatgun or blow dryer will help release the logic board.

    • On 800 MHz and above G4s, you must disconnect the fan cable from the logic board before you lift the board entirely off.

just a small detail i guess..

in the intro to this guide it says "The motherboard - which includes all ports but not the DC-In board - is fairly easy to change."

and right next says : "Difficulty: Difficult"

just sayin'..

Cheers!
