Resurrecting my topic here. My new screen and upper case should arrive this week.
Found instructions on iFixit that start here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-PowerBook-G3-Pismo-Display/30/1 Noticed that on step 11 of page 4, it says to (link below) "Step 11 * Lift the heat sink up from the left side and pull it out. * If you need to mount the heat sink back into the laptop, we have a thermal paste guide that makes replacing the thermal compound easy." Here's that info that I pasted: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-PowerBook-G3-Pismo-Display/30/4 The further info about using this paste is here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-Computer-Thermal-Paste/744/1 Where do I get thermal computer paste? I didn't buy it from the seller. Is it necessary? Someone else noted something about exposure to toxic stuff when installing the screen - from those who have worked on Pismos, is this just hype, or have I reason to be concerned? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
