[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1105336, member: 56379"] Regarding the hard drive purchase. I would probably buy from these guys if I was purchasing a new hard drive: [url=http://www.macsales.com]OWC[/url] ...I bought two used laptop drives for my iBook G3 project (20gig & a 30 gig) for $15 bucks on Friday. Also...here's a photo of the iBook G3 I just took apart this afternoon (below). Notice the tools I used: - screw drivers - spudger (I couldn't find my "regular" spudger, so I used a plastic disposable picnic knife) - and the 2 sheets of 8.5 x 11 copy paper for the screws that were removed. Each space on the paper has the number of the corresponding disassembly step from [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url]. And notice the positions of the screws. They're not just arranged randomly...they're in the exact position they're supposed to be in from the disassembly. Hope this helps (I apologize if the photo is on the large side for some folks), - Nick [IMG]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i230/pigoo3/DSCN1425.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
