Apple Powerbook 5300 Monitor Replacement

Position the Powerbook towards you with the monitor closed.

Press the battery removal latch located on the right side of the front panel.

Gently slide the battery out.

Turn the laptop over and remove the three T8 torx screws from the bottom panel.

Turn the laptop back over and open the monitor.

With the monitor facing towards you, gently pull up on the keyboard panel from the bottom.

Remove side panels by pulling up and towards the rear of the laptop. Remove the two torx #8 screws.

Disconnect the ribbon cable from the logic board. Note the cable is twisted around the monitor hinge, so do not pull up.

Use a pin to pry up the Powerbook 5300 and Macintosh logos to reveal two torx #8 screws. Remove these screws.

Use a wedge tool to pry open the two halves of the monitor assembly. Lift the top half away from the bottom half.

Unscrew the three torx #8 screws above and below the white paper backing. Remove the tape and peel back the paper backing to access the screws below.

All monitor components should be visible. The transformer board is pictured on the left. The speaker is connected to this board and runs down through the paper housing.
