Does anyone know where I could find information on disassembling this powerbook and possibly trying to fix it?

The biggest thing would be getting the hard drive out. But I would also like to fix it. It has been dropped and no longer turns on. I hear the hard drive spin up and then stop, but that's it. Nothing on the screen and no mac sound.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

pbfixit.com is offering online guides along with a printable screw guide that would help enormously. Get yourself an ice-cube tray to keep all the screws sorted, and be sure to label everything correctly. Nothing like the sinking feeling of getting it all closed up only to find an extra screw.

There's directions on how to get the keys off.
