I have a 1st gen 17inch poweer book. My hd craped on me so I ordered a 100gig 7k hd.
I followed instructions and I don't know if there is any jumper settings I am supposed to do. I can not seem to turn it on. The battery lights up and the power does but I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I just followed this http://www.powerbook-fr.com/IMG/pdf/pbg4_17_133.pdf
any help will do.

And you are booting from the system OS X CD that came with your PowerBook? You have to do that to re-install the OS to the new hard drive.

Won't even power on. I ended up taking it to the shop for 100 bucks. I at least took it apart to cut the work load so I do not get charged double.

They said I ripped off the logic board?!!?!? and will cost me 1100 dollars to replace it or apple can do it for likd 1600. Is it worth it or wait till the new macbook pro 17 inch comes out.
I could sell it as is right? Some one can always replce it them selves.

I dont know if selling a dead PB would be worth it...I'd just bite the bullet and fix it...maybe find a logic board on ebay or somewhere and have someone replace it for you
