iBook G4 (12-inch Mid 2005) Take Apart
General Information
• The procedures for the RAM shield, cables, hard drive, reed switch, and heatsink differ
somewhat from earlier models.
• The number and types of screws differ somewhat from previous models.
Note:
The top and bottom EMI shields are marked with screw identifiers for most of the
screw locations. The screw identifiers are in the form of "M2x_" where the last digit
indicates the approximate screw length. For example, a marking of "M2x3" indicates a 3.5-
mm long screw. Use the identifiers as a guide when reassembling the computer.
