Removing Your PowerBook Hard Disk Drive

Your PowerBook was designed so that you could easily remove your internal hard disk drive
for service or security needs.

1

If you have not already done so, remove the PowerBook keyboard and internal heat sink as
described in “Removing the Keyboard and Internal Heat Sink” on page 75.

2

Locate the hard disk drive.

3

Gently touch the metal surface on the left side of the inside of the computer to discharge any
static electricity built up on your body.

This prevents damage to the Macintosh PowerBook or internal hard disk drive.

Don’t walk around while removing the hard disk drive. If you do, make sure you touch the
metal surface again to discharge any static electricity.
