It's a bitch replacing the HD in a 12" PowerBook (the 15's are easier).

I killed my PB (by dropping it), then opened it up and tried to replace the dead HD with an 80gig HD.
It never rebooted after the first time I went in.
Or the second time. .
The screen turns on fine, but the fan kicks into high gear and nothing else.

I've since bought an iBook to "tide me over", but the PB just sits dead on a shelf.

Think I'm just going to eBay it as parts.
