Found one on ebay with a good picture of the jacks. Thanks.

Walter, is the sound out 1/8” jack located on the sound card? Thanks.

Nothing yet Walter. The past couple of weeks I have dismantled my iBook 14” 1.42 and put it back together a half dozen times or so. I’ve bought parts off of ebay, harvested stuff from my spare iBook and I am certain of this... It still loads as normal as can be. Bright screen, sound, etc. but 38 secs from first desktop view and 28-30 secs after complete load it gets a black screen.

I’ve checked or replaced: RAM, Inverter cable, HD, different display, and more. I’ve tried rushing to the sys prefs and setting it to “no sleep.” I’ve quickly opened a song in Quicktime and it shuts off with the screen goes black.

Any other suggestions from anyone would be great. I really dig my iBook and it was working fine until I replaced the Optical drive (now gone) and at one point I started it up with only the aluminum shields on and it worked fine. Then, after putting the cases back together, nothing since.

Smooth as silk Walter. I am changing this to try and address a Black screen problem. After a Optical Drive and HD (OWC Legacy SSD) my machine went from perfect to normal boot then 28-30 secs later, black screen while everything else worked (caps lock light, pulsing sleep light, etc.) Will let you know if this solved the prob as I have a screen harvested years ago from a working iBook of mine.

Thanks

Found the screw guide pdf on another guide.

A good example is step 38. Why do we have to see half of a man’s arm instead of a closeup on the inverter cable?? Do you get it? A part smaller then the size of a dime and we must look at huge hands and wide shots of unnecessary acreage of the computer??? Like in 41-43. I’ve never been so concerned at using iFixit as I am today. I just ordered an inverter cable off ebay to help with my screen going black after 30 seconds of being on and now I am wondering if I am going to be able to do it?? :-(

Somehow the pdf’s here have been messed with. The quality of the photography leaves much to be desired. I have been using iFixit for a decade and my older pdf’s are of superior quality, easy to follow. The photographer doesn’t seem to understand this isn’t about showing wide shots all the time but rather close-ups to help us understand the process. I am very perplexed at why the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” logic did not apply here.

Some of my older pdf’s even have parts layout sheets to be printed and used during the work.

Are any of the older pdf’s available?
