PowerBook FixIt Guides Announced
SAN LUIS OBISPO, California– May 10, 2004. PB FixIt today announced the
free FixIt Guide series, a groundbreaking new set of Apple PowerBook
repair instructions. Each FixIt Guide has detailed disassembly
instructions that walk the reader through the process of easily
accessing and replacing damaged PowerBook components.
“Mac users have always fought the status quo. With these FixIt Guides,
we’re empowering people to ‘Think Different’ about repairing their
laptop,” said PB FixIt’s CEO Kyle Wiens. “I can’t tell you how many
PowerBook owners I’ve talked to who had cracked their LCD or tripped
over their power cord, but couldn’t afford $100/hr repair fees in
addition to Apple’s insane prices for new parts. Our revolutionary FixIt
Guides walk you through the repair process step by step, enabling you to
replace any part in your PowerBook yourself.
“Many people have the impression that their laptop isn’t worth having
someone fix. They’re right– often it’s not cost effective to have
others repair it. Our FixIt Guides make it easy for users to do the
repair themselves. That’s not just marketing-speak. The end users we’ve
tested these Guides with rave about how easy it is to repair their
laptops themselves.”

* PowerBook G3 Wallstreet (233 – 300 MHz)
* PowerBook G3 Lombard (333 – 400 MHz)
