Einleitung

This set of instructions covers the Apple Powerbook 190/5300 Series’ hard drive removal and replacement.. This procedure should be performed for the replacement of a faulty or inoperable hard drive; including but not limited to data cable damage, or power cable damage. The user may also want to remove their hard drive to secure their data from compromise.

This device contains the highest voltage of any Powerbook of its time, and requires precaution. Remove the battery and power adaptor before the procedure.

    • Position the Powerbook towards you with the monitor closed.

    • Press the battery removal latch located on the right side of the front panel.

    • Gently slide the battery out.

    • The keyboard, front pane, and hard drive are connected to the laptop's logic board via a ribbon cable. Lift up slowly on each component with one hand and disconnect the ribbons from their ports on the logic board.

    • Turn the laptop back over and open the monitor.

    • With the monitor facing towards you, gently pull up on the keyboard panel from the bottom.

    • With the keyboard turned over as pictured, carefully remove its ribbon cable from the connection port on the logic board. Use a spudger to lift the white plastic retainer about 1/16" to release the cable.

    Use a spudger under one of the keys on the bottom row to very gently lift until you can use your hand to lift the keyboard.
