Installation guide

8 PowerBook 3400 and PowerBook G3 (1997)

Tip: There are two items that the bracket protects - the hard

drive and the power supply board underneath the right side of the

bracket. When separating the bracket from the computer use a

small flat-blade screwdriver to hold down the power supply

board. Do this by applying slight pressure to the right edge of the

board. Touch only the green part of the IC board.

Step 19: While holding the

power supply board in place

rotate the bracket towards the

front of the PowerBook. Discon-

nect the hard drive cable connec-

tor from the logic board by

carefully pulling up on the

hardened plastic back of the

cable.

Step 20: Remove the four screws holding the drive in the bracket.

Step 21: Remove the hard drive

from within the bracket. Use the pull

tabs to disconnect the cable from the

hard drive.

Step 22: Replace the cable connector onto the new hard drive taking

care to orient it properly for later connection of the other end of the cable

to the logic board.
