Model Differences

The external housing of the PowerBook G4 (12-inch DVI) model looks the same as the

PowerBook G4 (12-inch) model except for one port. To distinguish the models, look for a

mini-DVI port (shown below) on the PowerBook G4 (12-inch DVI) computer.

The mini-DVI port is used with an adapter cable to connect the computer to a monitor,

television, VCR, or other video device. The adapter cables that can be used with this port

include a mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter, a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter, and a mini-DVI-to-S-Video

adapter.

By contrast, the PowerBook G4 (12-inch) computer has a video-out VGA port instead of a

mini-DVI port.

Tools

Most of the tools required for taking apart these computers are the same as for earlier

notebook models; however, there are three new tools:

• 1.5 mm hex driver (small hex head screwdriver) for the top case and display housing

• 14 mm socket wrench or needlenose pliers for the DC-to-DC board

• tweezers or needlenose pliers (for replacing a foot or for routing thin cables such as

the AirPort antenna cable)

The following tools are recommended for these computers:

• Coin

• ESD wriststrap and mat

• Small soft cloth

• Black stick (or other nonconductive nylon or plastic flat-blade tool)

• #0 Phillips screwdriver (magnetized)

• #1 Phillips screwdriver (magnetized)

• Jeweler’s flat-blade screwdriver

• 1.5 mm hex driver

• 14 mm socket wrench or needlenose pliers

To organize the screws you remove from the computer, use a tray with divided

compartments (such as a plastic ice cube tray). If doing a complete disassembly, note the

screws removed from each location in the computer.

Check the screw lengths before installing the screws. Installing a longer

screw in the wrong place can permanently damage the housing or an internal part.

Pictures in this Chapter

Because in some cases the computer was photographed at a pre-release stage, some of

the images pictured in this chapter show boards that are red, rather than green. However,

production models include green boards.
