My wife thinks I’m crazy for doing this kind of stuff. But ever since I was a kid, I have had a passion for taking things apart. So now I put that to good use and “flip” broken laptops.  This particular 12 inch powerbook is a great machine.  It just has a bad Superdrive (dvd drive for you non-mac types).  So, I picked it up for a deal (because of the fact its got a broken drive) off of Craigslist, then found a new replacement drive on Ebay. It arrived today and I spend a couple hours in surgery and – presto. All fixed.

No extra screws or parts after everythings back together either. =)  Seriously, that a good thing.  When I first started at this in my college years I would occassionally have a few screws left over here and there. Woops! =)  But now I’m a little smarter with my planning and approach. Fun stuff.
