Sadly I'm a below-average laptop repairman. My iBook G3 was never the same after I did it (with said guide) - much of the wrist-rest now acts as a click on the mouse and the CD drive ejection mech isn't happy. I could probably fix it with some time and effort, but I honestly never want to open it again. Kudos to you for having it down.

I too lament how closed machines have become and how it affects the environment, data recovery, and just plain ol' repair. Some of those PCI Macs with 603s, 604s and G3s could get up to G4e with CPU boards and industry-standard PCI cards (so long as they had a Mac driver.) Now you can't even add your own storage to most Macs, and the one with PCIe won't let you use your own graphics card.
