Do I need to go to the gym or something? Are the screws usually on this tight?! It doesn't help that the screwdrivers for these things are so small and you have to turn them with…

What size screwdriver are you using? I believe #00 worked for me. Yeah, the screws are on tight, but you should be able to do it without too much trouble.

I Don't know what size it is. It is just some screwdrivers I have that seemed to fit ok, not perfectly, but close enough (or so I thought). I'll go buy a #00 tomorrow to see if i…

Yes, use the right tool and they will come right off.

Remember those tech-decks? Those mini skateboards all the junior high kids used to play with a few years ago? I used the screwdriver that came with them. IMO it's the best screwdri…

If its been running before hand, let it cool for a while and see if having a "cold" powerbook makes it easier to get the cover off.

Make sure you are "unscrewing" in the correct direction. The only reason I bring this up is because that is what I was doing. When I thought the screws were in so tight that I cou…

Thanks everyone. I was able to install me new RAM. It's amazing what the right tool will do! Also, the PB feels so much snappier with the extra 512MB. I can only imagine what a…

I see you've got the cover off so the point is moot but I wanted to respond to the comment about being charged by the Apple store. I ran into the same issue with my powerbook (and…

When I added a 1gb module to my new 15" Powerbook last night, I noticed that the screws (that did take a little force to remove) looked like they had some Loc-tite on them - the th…

It's not that hard to forget which way to turn the screws. I've had the same thing happen to me. Just remember: Lefty->loosy, righty->tighty

Ok, so i know this sounds weird but just hear me out guys... First, make sure u have the EXACT correct size screwdriver as stated in your manual Second, (this is where it gets stra…

Has the shuffle changed how you listen to your music? How do you listen to music on your Shuffle? I usually listen to full albums. I still do on my computer. However, when using m…

I listen to it the same way I listened to my iPod. I loaded my entire library and clicked random. Nothing has changed....

All I know is that I like it 10x more than using my 15 gig ipod.

I love using the shuffle feature on my iPod. It's great to see what comes up next. You never know. It can go from some Ray Charles to Guns 'n Roses to White Zombie to Queen back…

It is like listening to the radio but they only play songs you like and no ads or talking.

I've got too many different genres on my big iPod to make use of the "Shuffle Songs" feature on the main menu. And it's too much of a hassle to switch between shuffle and sequentia…
