Hey guys!
I bought a new ibook G4 1.2Ghz with 30GB hard drive.
I want to change the HD to 60GB with 5400rpm.
Will this break the warranty?

Hi tomguy,
Yeah, upgrading the hard drive yourself will void the warranty, but apparently so does upgrading the memory yourself too, which I've done. If something actually does break while you are upgrading the hard drive, then I guess you are out of luck... But in all honesty, if you are confident you know what you are doing, and successfully upgrade the hard drive, and all of a sudden something down the road does happen, like a key on the keyboard pops off, or your screen stops working (something totally unrelated to your hard drive), I would simply just pop the old hard drive back in and send it on warranty repair. I highly doubt they(Apple) would know. Of course, this is just my two sense... -

Actually, I distinctly remember reading elsewhere of someone buying their iBook at an Apple Store and immediately having the HDD upgraded their. You'll incur the characteristic markup, but if that doesn't bother you, I think this is your solution. Look up your nearest Store on Apple.com and off you go!
