Schritt 1

Locate the battery release tab on the underside of the G4.
Slide the battery release tab to the left and lift the battery out of the computer.

Schritt 2

Turn the keyboard locking screw located in the middle of the keyboard so that it is parallel to the space bar. A half turn from parallel to parallel will unlock it. Another half turn will lock it again.
Pull the keyboard release tabs toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free.

This is not a screw, it is light transmitting plastic for the num lock light

Schritt 3

Rest the keyboard face down on the trackpad area.
Disconnect the keyboard connector from the logic board.

The keyboard connector can be very tightly connected. Use caution and a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it up from the board. The left side of the connector (left as shown in the photo) is easier to grasp than the right, so grab it on that side with the pliers and pull carefully. It will come off.

Schritt 4

Your laptop should look approximately like this.

Schritt 5

Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip at the same time. These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.
Pull the RAM chip out.
Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.

I don’t think it’s necessary to remove the RAM from their slots; the eventual logic board removal is not made any more difficult with the RAM cards left in place.
