Having gained much information from this list about the items necessary for a powerbook upgrade, I would like to offer the following observations after watching it done: a) if you are going to try this upgrade yourself, be sure you have the 186 page manual with illustrations b) be sure that you not only buy the motherboard, but also the powerboard (which the 190 does not have) and if you are upgrading to the 5300ce, then buy that video board as well c) you will need a torx 8 screwdriver (and possibly torx 6) d) if you buy a larger hard drive, such as a 4 G, and re-drill the metal cage holes to fit the screws which are now located in a different place, it is likely that one front screw will hit the plastic palm rest and have to be removed
Could someone please tell me what tool people use (and its name) that functions like a hook to lift up the plastic holding the keyboard cable and the screen cable so that the cables can be lifted out? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
