[QUOTE="AnatomyOfARyan, post: 596207, member: 11304"] well, i screwed up... i was installing a new hard drive in my brothers 12 inch, 1.33 GHz G4 iBook. apparently when i was disassembling the iBook (which was quite the task) i broke a piece that connects the power button to the logic board. follow this link to [url]http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G4-12-Inch/Hard-Drive-Replacement/83/14/Page-12/Upper-Case[/url] . its the last step on this page. i pulled up on it just slightly, and didnt realize i broke it until the reassembly. so what now? im fairly sure this will probably need to be replaced and resoldered to the logic board. i dont have the means or the knowledge to do this. there is an apple store in kansas city, but this iBook is no longer covered on any kind of applecare. would they work on it if i brought it down there? if not, would best buy do it or something? if still nothing, is there some genius on the board that knows how these things work and could fix this for me? any help would be great, as id like to get this thing put back together. thanks.
