Hello!

I want to exchange the keyboard in my PowerBook G4. Does anyone know where
to get a manual for how to do it?

Thanks in advance Smile)

www.ifixit.com has instructions for swapping components of several Mac
laptops.

I recently used their instructions to remove the keyboard from a 12"
PowerBook G4 and replace it again (which fixed it - it had stopped
responding at all, presumably due to a loose connection but I saw no
evidence of one).
