PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) Hard Drive -

Removing the Installed Hard Drive

1. With your ﬁngers, carefully pry up the hard drive cable connector

(Figure 8)

at its

sides to disconnect it from the logic board. You may need to pry one side, then the

other, in a rocking motion.

2. With a Torx T8 screwdriver, remove the two screws

(Figure 9)

that secure the hard

drive to the mounting bracket and then gently remove the hard drive.

Important:

Do not pull on the connector cable or use the cable as a handle.

Note:

There are four rubber stoppers on the hard drive that fit over screws (two on

each side). Remove any that may have fallen off or that remain in the holes in the

mounting bracket inside the computer.

3. Replace the screws and rubber stoppers back onto the removed hard drive.
