Directions to a 'break-down' site.

[RNKIII]

I have looked in a lot of places for a 'break-down' site for my wife's G4 Macbook. 1.33 GHz PPC.

What I want to know is if there is a fan built into this machine or if it is just cooled by 'flow-thru' means...

Have iStat-Pro running on it and that shows that there is a 'main rear' fan but always shows 0 rpm.... Don't know if that is because of a bad fan or because there isn't one.

Links showing the 'guts' of the machine would be greatly appreciated.

Found a 'how-to' at iFixit.... doesn't look like it is something I want to tackle.... particularly as this is my wife''s "baby" and should I schmuck it up there would be more than a repair bill to pay .......  Better to let someone else do it and be able to commiserate should something go wrong with the repair.  

Oh, yes, there is a fan!!

Yup - iFixit.com is wonderful for Mac laptop (and iMac & Mini) take-aparts.

And I tend to agree - anything that requires a spudger always has me a tad anxious, along with the the admonition to "breathe deeply, trying times are ahead"!!! I've taken apart laptops before, but the old Powerbooks were pretty tough, and somewhat easier to disassemble, methinks. Lots of things were accessible simply by removing the keyboard.
