3. Close the computer and turn it over. Slide the battery compartment latch (Figure 1A)
to the right to remove the battery (Figure 1B) .
Removing the battery will prevent you from accidentally turning on the computer.
Warning: The internal components of your PowerBook may be hot. If you have
been using your PowerBook, wait 30 minutes after shutting down your
computer to let the internal components cool down before continuing.
4. Turn over the computer and raise the display so you can access the keyboard.
5. Make sure that the keyboard locking screw is not in the locked position (Figure 2) .
Your new PowerBook comes with the keyboard unlocked, so unless you or someone
else locked the keyboard, you can skip this step.
6. Release the keyboard by pulling down on the keyboard release tabs located to the left
of the F1 and F9 keys (Figure 3) , then lift the top portion of the keyboard up and
toward the display to release the tabs that hold the bottom of the keyboard in place.
7. Flip over the keyboard and lay it on the palm rests and trackpad (Figure 4) .
Perform Electrostatic Discharge
1. Touch the computer’s inside framework (a dull gray conductive composite material) to
discharge any static electricity, as shown (Figure 5) .
Important: To avoid electrostatic discharge damage, always ground yourself by
touching the computer’s framework before you touch any parts or install any
components inside the computer. To avoid static electricity building back up in your
body, do not walk around the room until you have completed your installation and
closed the computer.
