PowerBook (FireWire), G4: Keyboard Locking Screw

The PowerBook (FireWire) and PowerBook G4 have a keyboard locking screw that is similar to the iBook; it is not similar to the keyboard locking screw in the PowerBook G3 Series.

To release the keyboard locking screw, turn the screw one half turn in either direction so that the screw slot is oriented horizontally. Your PowerBook comes from Apple with the keyboard unlocked.
