[QUOTE="arimattson, post: 215269"] :doctor: I have a 12" Powerbook, 1st Generation. I recently did a swap to a 60GB Seagate drive when my original 40GB died. Well, I took the case apart, installed the drive and now when I put it back together with all the screws, it shorts out or something. Right now, I just have it running with the 2 screws above the keyboard next to the display.
