Gut iBook

Remove the old components from the iBook shell.

All of the internal components are removed from the iBook leaving the clam shell. The case itself does not need to be cut or modified.

Only six T8 torx screws are required to hold the shell together for this build. Fasten the first two screws on each side of the bottom shell as shown here.

Keyboard insert

Align the two cuts on the keyboard insert to the shell and press fit at an angle. 

Align the keyboard's power switch to the cutout on the insert to press fit into place.

Screen Frame

Place the printed screen frame in the shell with the two protroding tabs next to the hinge. 

Adapters

Assemble the USB adapters so the magnetic right angle points away from the volume buttons. 

Insert iPad

The iPad press fits into the display frame with the adapters attached. 

Place Frame

The assembled insert is place inside the shell. The original display frame is press fitted over the printed iPad insert.

Display frame screws

The second set of Torx screws are fastened on each side of the display frame.

Frame screws

Fasten the last set of T8 Torx screws to the back panel, this will secure the display frame to the shell.

Complete!

The handle itself is fully intact and functional making this one of the coolest parts of the build!
