    iBook G4 (14-inch Mid 2005) Take Apart  General Information
     
    Important:
     
     The only noticeable physical difference between this model and the earlier G4 
    model is the appearance of the foot sockets. Check the foot sockets on the bottom case to 
    see this difference. For this model, the foot sockets are uniformly flat with no dimples. 
    However, the foot sockets are compatible with earlier models, so this physical difference is 
    not an absolute indicator of the model type. Be sure to con firm the model type using serial 
    number veri fication. 
    iBook G4 (Early 2004): Foot sockets include three dimples
    iBook G4 (Late 2004 and Mid 2005): Foot sockets are uniformly  flat

    Note:
     
     The top and bottom EMI shields are marked with screw identi fiers for most of the 
    screw locations. The screw identi fiers are in the form of M2x_ where the last digit 
    indicates the approximate screw length. For example, a marking of M2x3 indicates a 3.5-
    mm long screw. Use the identi fiers as a guide when reassembling the computer.
