LukeSki Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hello all, Well i was wondering if you could help me. I have just bought a faulty Powerbook G4 17" 1.33 off ebay and its got a faulty motherboard, and I was wondering if I could replace it with a 1.67 motherboard as the screen resis still the same and most of the other stuff. Please could you help me out. Thanks in advance, LukeSki Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148391-powerbook-g4-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If the inner pieces to the Powerbooks remained the same (including cooling plate placements and the like) then yeah, there *shouldn't* be a problem.

andsteele Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Never been inside a Powerbook G4 before, but I would imagine it would work. The 1.67GHz motherboard should fit into your powerbook, plus you have the advantage of having a faster processor.

alphamalie Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 it depends on the model gap. different models always have something different, even if it's different pins/cord placements to totally different shapes.

.ShadowFox Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Make sure the 1.67 logicboard is 17", to make sure the screw holes line up with the holes on the logicboard. You should be good.
