ject and by properly securing the provided Disposable Ground-
ing Wrist Strap.
Step 1:
Place your PowerBook on a hard, flat surface.
Step 2:
If your PowerBook is on, turn it off. If the unit appears to be
off, make sure that it is not in Sleep mode.
Step 3:
Completely unplug all cables from the PowerBook and remove
any batteries, media bay devices, and PC Card modules from it.
Step 4:
Adjust the PowerBook’s display so that it is at a 90-degree angle
to its base.
Step 5:
Reach into the expansion
bays with each of your index
fingers and locate the plastic key-
board release tabs on each side.
They are ridged and are located
on the underside of the palm rest.
Slide the tabs toward the front of
the computer until you see the bottom of the keyboad pop up slightly.
