Grr..I'm working on an iBook Dual USB for a guy (after he dropped it). The HD croaked when it hit the floor, so we got a new one on eBay. I followed the Apple specs and diassembled the iBook, put the new HD in, and put it back together. Plug it in... Hit power... Nothing happens.

Hmmm.

(What a pain, too...it's got like 50 screws. My Wallstreet has like 5 to get to the hard drive.)

Gotta love the complicated internal workings of the iBook. Did you use ESD precautions (Electro Static Dicharge) and keep yourself grounded while inside?
