Complete disassembly instructions for Original PBG4

My plastic battery eject switch broke on my 500, and Apple actually sells the replacement part for $6.03. The problem is that I need to totally strip my machine to replace it.



I've installed airport and a new hardrive on it, plus I'm an electrical engineer with a modified Rx-7. I am technically capable of doing this for sure, I just would rather not have to figure it out myself. Is there detailed documentation about PBG4 assembly/disassembly anywhere?



Thanks.

    I think this stuff is only available to Apple authorized service shops.



    If I am wrong I'd love to hear it.



    Is Apple going to sell you the 6.03 part directly? I'd inquire with the source that is providing the part.

    I'm friends with an apple authorized retail store owner.



    I suppose I could ask for a manual too, but I wanted to see if they were online first.



    Thanks

    To whom an iBook is causing problems; the following link might help you out a little bit:



    <a href="http://homepage.usask.ca/~cjn339/index.html"; target="_blank">iBook modifications</a>



    cool for any other iBook owners also, IMHO.

    Thanks for the link.The Apple dealer probably won't give you a manual,in most cases like these they are internal documnets.I found a tech manual fo rthe Epson3000,though,come to think of it I got it at:

    They may have tech manuals for Apple as well.
