ok, I have started the operation. I took everything I might need out of the 180. I forgot on the 1xx powerbooks, the CPU is on a daughterboard, so I only removed that. The 180 had a RAM board, I forget how many mbs, but it is pretty large, and I will compare it to the one I know is 14mb in the 165.

I removed the display, display cable, inverter, interconnect board, daughter card, 1gb HD, and modem. Will take apart the 165 after class tonight.

One note about the interconnect board: in the service manual, for the exploded view, apple only lists one part number for it. Does that mean the interconnect board is the same for both? If so, how did they manage to have 2 different display cables and two different inverters hooked into it?
