Step 15: Referring to the latch noted on the previous diagram, use a
small flat-blade screwdriver to gently press the latch toward the palm rest
and at the same time rotate the top right section of the palm rest towards
the front of the PowerBook.
Step 16: Once the latch is freed, grasp the top right side of the palm rest
and pull it up slowly. Note that there are six more latches connecting the
palm rest, along the front and middle seams. Some of these latches may
be a bit tough to release, especially along the left front seam. You might
try gently rocking the palm rest to free these latches. You might also try
pushing with your thumbs on the bottom half of the case below the front
seam as you pull the top palm rest area with your other fingers.
Step 17: Rotate the palm rest
over until it is laying upside
down in the area that the key-
board originally occupied,
remembering not to pull the
trackpad cable out of the connec-
tor as you turn over the palm rest.
Step 18: Remove the three
interchangeable screws connect-
ing the hard drive bracket to the
CPU stiffener. Lift up the bracket
until you feel a slight resistance -
STOP! Notice the hard drive
cable connecting the drive to the
logic board.
