-
-
Use a coin to rotate the battery locking screw 90 degrees clockwise.
-
Lift the battery out of the computer.
-
-
-
Pull the keyboard release tabs (shown in yellow) toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free.
-
If the keyboard does not come free, use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the keyboard locking screw (shown in orange) 180 degrees in either direction and try again.
-
Flip the keyboard over, away from the screen, and rest it face-down on the trackpad area.
-
-
-
Pull the keyboard cable up from the logic board, holding the cable as close to the connector as possible.
-
-
-
Close the display and flip the computer over.
-
Remove the three hex screws using a T8 Torx screwdriver.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or small flathead screwdriver to remove the three rubber feet from the lower case.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or small flathead screwdriver to pry up the three metal rings that housed the rubber bumpers.
-
-
-
Push in the thin rims of the lower case surrounding the battery compartment, bending them past the tabs, and then lift up to free that corner of the lower case.
This part scared me, never in an iFixIt guide have I seen a warning like "trying times are ahead".
I used a plastic iPod opening tool and ran it around the seam in the same order pictured. I had the plastic off in less than a minute with almost no fuss.
-
-
-
There is a slot on the wall of the battery compartment that locks the lower case in place. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry out the slot's lower rim and pull up on the lower case to free the slot from the tabs holding it.
-
-
-
-
Run a spudger along the seam between the lower case and upper case on the front of the computer to free the tabs locking the lower case. Pull up on the lower case and continue to use the spudger as necessary until you hear three distinct clicks.
-
-
-
Continue to run the spudger around the front, right corner. There are two tabs on the port side of the computer, one near the front corner and one near the sound-out port.
-
-
-
There are three tabs over the optical drive that must be released before the lower case can come off. Slide the spudger into the lower case above the optical drive and run it toward the back of the computer until you hear three distinct clicks.
-
-
-
Turn the computer so that the back is facing you and pull the lower case up and toward you until the back tabs pop free.
Zitat von Paulix:
I found it easier and "safer" to use a spudge at the back as well (two on each side of the hinge)
I did too. Thanks, Paulix.

-
Remove the small greasy springs with white plastic caps from either side of the battery contacts.
-
-
-
Remove the following 10 screws from the bottom shield:
-
Six 3 mm Phillips
-
Three 7.5 mm Phillips
-
One 14 mm Phillips
-
-
-
Remove the single Phillips screw securing the DC-In board.
You might not need to remove the entire DC-In board and cable. This is removed because the DC-In jack blocks the upper case from being lifted off. I just removed the screw and pushed the board slightly in when removing the upper case to provide clearance. You may want to tape the board loosely in place when the screw is out to prevent it from falling out.
-
-
-
Angle the DC-In board out of its compartment.
Zitat von beefybov:
You need to undo the adhesive halfway down the cable, so you can lift the DC board to angle it out correctly. beefybov
Good call, beefybov.

Remove the following 11 screws from the bottom of the computer:
-
Three 3 mm Phillips around the battery compartment.
-
Three 4.5 mm Phillips along the optical drive bezel. (a magnetic screwdriver may help to lift these screws out)
-
One 12 mm Phillips in the lower right corner.
-
Four 14.5 mm Phillips.
-
-
-
Turn over the computer and open it.
-
Remove the 3 Phillips screws from the edges of the keyboard area.
A soft cloth like the one you use to clean your screen with. Not a towel because of the static that might be built up in heavier fabrics.
The picture has the lower *right* screw marked as "L" -- but that's a mistake; the short screw is, as described, on the lower LEFT side.
On my computer, the screw in lower right marked "L" (long?) in the picture is M3x6mm and the other two are M3x3mm.
Yes, the LONG screw goes into the bottom RIGHT corner if the screen is facing you as it does when you're using the computer.

Lift the upper case and use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab.
-
-
-
Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails, carefully pry the connector from its socket.
-
Carefully disconnect the multicolored speaker cable from the logic board in the same fashion.
This is a very tough one. I did break both the power cable and speaker cable off the motherboard, and was unable to separate the motherboard-side connectors from the cable-side connectors even after that. Fortunately, this iBook was already bricked.

Remove the following 16 screws:
-
Thirteen 3 mm Phillips.
-
One 3 mm Phillips.
-
Two 4 mm Phillips.
Ditto
The little tabs on the shield that are intended to contact the metal on the ports and the optical drive had been flattened out on my iBook and were no longer in contact. I didn't notice this until I had installed the shield. Make sure the tabs are bent down a bit as to contact the ports and optical drive. This system looks like it replaced the foil tape on earlier models. Just my own observation.
-
-
-
Lift the top shield up from the right side, minding the upper left corner which may catch on the metal framework.
-
-
-
Remove the four Phillips screws securing the hard drive to the metal framework.
-
Remove the following three 3 mm Phillips screws from the metal AirPort card retaining bracket.
-
Lift the metal AirPort card retaining bracket up and out of the computer.
-
-
-
Lift the free end of the hard drive up, enough for the brackets to clear the metal frame. Pull the hard drive out of its connector.
-
-
-
Remove the hard drive brackets from the left and right sides of the hard drive.
-
-
-
Remove the two black T8 Torx screws from either side of the hard drive (four screws total).
-
-
-
Disconnect the hard drive connector from the hard drive.
iFixit,
Thank you for this helpfull guide.
It took me exactly 70 min. to swap the harddisk, this including a cup of coffee and a smoke between disassembly/assembly.
Thumbs up!

Wow!! Who knew it would be so complicated?!? I just wanted to pull the hard drive out before recycling the old case and never would have figured it out on my own. Thanks so much for posting these instructions.
A lot of these steps aren‘t necessary. Especially to save yourself the trouble: do not disconnect the power button and speaker-it works fine with having the shield next to the iBook with the cables still threaded through the metal sheet.
