    Hi,
    a while back while I was trying to change the lcd screen on my old ibook, I searched the net for a guide and took me a long time to find this site. Found it to be very useful, it's pratically screw by screw guide to disassemble your notebook.
    Now that I am done with that, this link has been sitting in my bookmark collecting e-dust, I thought some of you might need it at some point.
    I dont know if this disassembly is easy, but it wouldn't hurt if its useless to you, but would help if someone does need it.

    If it's good enough, you can maybe even sticky this, I am a newb so I dont know how good this info is, if not, just let it sink to the last page.

    for assembly, just go to the end of the guide and follow in reverse order.

    That guide has been very usefull to me in the past, and I think it would be a good idea to make a sticky of it.

    I also got some "solutions" to common iBook technical problems if you're interested. They are for the following things: dead trackpad, dead screen, logic board failure and CD-reading issues. It's stuff that people have found out by themselves around on the internet, so some of it are kind of "magic tricks". But they've worked quite well for me.

    Just in case your iBook encounter problems and you want to prolong the life of it beyond the time were you're willing to spend any money for it. If anyone needs, let me know and I'll post it.
