Removing hard drive in a Ti 800...
Hi all...
Am looking into replacing my Ti's current drive with the hitachi 7200 rpm. Have been to Apple's site and d/l the document for instructions on how to do it. Just wondered when other people have done this, can you just close the PB, turn it upside down and unscrew and remove the bottom panel? Rather than have the screen open with the Ti turned over and the keyboard section resting on a desk...
Not the most confident of people when it comes to this sort of thing, but if i could just close the PB, turn it upside down and do the necessary it would be a lot easier...
Thanks in advance...

Someone showed this to me so I will return the favor:

Just keep track of which screws go into which holes...
well, have been taking a closer look at my Ti tonight, i think i *may* just get away with it...
thanks anyway
as great as a new HD is, it would pale in comparison to having to pay for a new LCD.
work on it with the lid open, it's the only safe way. LCD's can crack from what seems like miniscule pressure if it's put in the right place. i wouldn't play around with this.
(p.s., i've done the upgrade and it's a cinch)
i've just learned that you don't play around where LCD's are concerned. they just cost too much money and are too delicate.
