Well, I got an iBook. Except it's in like, 50 pieces. Has marker markings all over it and sticky stuff.
Today, I got around to getting it back together. With the help of iFixIt and Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, I got it to a very decent looking shape. So I plugged in the power adapter, crossed my fingers and hit the power button.
And to my sheer shock, it worked! Started up in Mac OS 9.1! Amazing!
But there's now only two things wrong with it. The trackpad and the optical drive.
The easy one first; the trackpad. I think it's because I connected it wrong. How do you connect the trackpad? I can't figure it out.
And now the hard one... the optical drive. It wouldn't open. I think it's jammed. Any way I can open it and test it or something without taking it all back apart *cringe*?
