Small update.

I went looking through all my CD drives, none of them will work with the Powerbook.

So this morning i removed the original one and tried to adjust the lens once again. The first attempt i only turned the small screw anticlokwise (counterclockwise) as the repair method only stated this way.

But i figured out that maybe my drive can be out of adjustment on the other side...i was right, turning the screw clockwise (slightly) and the disk was mounted !!

Adjusting the screw a bit more, gave me a fully functional CD drive ;)

Sorry for the blurry picture.

I removed the casing from the battery to have a look inside, and now the battery is detected (look at the pic)

Anybody has tried a recell successfully ?
