Removing the Keyboard

The keyboard is removable to allow access to the internal components and expansion connectors inside the computer. The keyboard is held in place by a locking screw and two latches.

To unlock the keyboard, the user turns a slotted screw that is part of the Num Lock LED, which is between the F4 and F5 function keys. Turning the screw 180° locks or unlocks the keyboard.

Note

The iBook leaves the factory with keyboard locking screw in the unlocked position.

The two latches are between the ESC key and the F1 key and between the F8 and F9 keys. The user can release the latches by pulling them toward the front of the computer.
