I have been a real ass today. I was convinced that I could replace my front bezel on my powerbook 12" on my own. It went well - untill I had to put the parts back together again. Now I don't know where to put the diffrent cables in the powerbook uppercase and I really have no idea where to find a guide. Does anyone in here know a good, bulletproof and very specific guide on how to fix all those cables and antennas? ( i have tried ifixit.com and powerbookmedic.com - both of them where not good enough )

What cable are you trying to attach that is not shown in the iFixit guide? What does it look like?

I'm trying to attach all of them. i'm stucked in the part where i'm supposed to attatch the inverter cable to the clutch cover. I don't know how to put the cables securely and the manual doesn't give me the clue i need at all.

Well, of course you are trying to reattach all of them. I was asking for a description of the cable you are having a problem with. In the clutch, the inverter only has one cable you can plug in, usually with a white and a pink wire for connecting to the display backlight. Is this what you are talking about? The cable at the other end of the inverter board is soldered on and connected to the logic board in the bottom case.
