opening the case of new G4 Powerbook (15inch aluminium 1.25Gz model)

[hillel]

Hi, I want to switch hard drives on my new Powerbook G4 (1.25GH, 15"), but I'm pretty nervous about opening the case to do this. I've downloaded the instructions on the old G4 titanium, but the screws are all in differen places and and maybe the whole setup is different. Actually I tried to open it once, but gave up from lack of confidence about putting pressure on anything. Anyone done it? Know of some place on the web with clear instructions and pictures. Or willing to tell me which screws I need to remove - e.g., inside the battery well, inside the RAM well, 3 on each side, 4 on the bottom ; do I need to remove the cover of the RAM well and the screws inside there as well; how about the two on each side of the hinges????

Of course, once you've done it, everything is easy, but that first time......

thanks for any help! Hillel

Check out this link. I haven't personally opened an Aluminum case you so I don't know how hard the process would be.
