The new hard drive for our Powerbook 667 arrived Saturday along with a few special tools. In no time I had the Powerbook back up and running.

It wasn’t that hard actually. Especially after watching one of Other World Computing’s videos. I just had to remove a few screws (with a special Torx Screwdriver) and I managed to get everything taken apart. The new drive fit right in and then I just replaced what screws I removed. Done!

After that, I installed the OS and the Powerbook was back to operational! Added a few applications and it was perfect.

It happened Sunday night around 7:45pm. My My wife’s Powerbook 667 slipped into a coma.

It will start up a little, but stops at a blue screen. Never loading the desktop. Even disk utility can’t help.

I was able to hook it up to life support though. Via target disk mode, my iMac was able to read the hard drive. We backed up all the data and did all we could. It’s no use though, we can’t even erase the hard drive in the Powerbook.
