Hello everyone.
I need to open up my ibook g4 as the stub from the charger has broken off inside the port. I've been quoted £95 to get it fixed so does anyone know what tools I need to buy to open it up myself?
Thanks.

This was a VERY common problem when I was repairing Macs for a living. You'll likely need to replace the inverter board (which should cost about $30 or so as I recall).

The repair will entail a great deal of work, and I **STRONGLY** recommend being absolutely meticulous about organising the screws and putting them back EXACTLY as they came out unless you enjoy headaches and nightmares.

I have to say bluntly my shop stopped doing major repairs on iBook G4s four years ago as they were not economically worth our time (high "abandonment" rate as well).
