Free Mac Do-It-Yourself Guides


PB FixIt opens the gates

PB FixIt today announced a significant addition to their groundbreaking FixIt Guide Series, the Mac Mini FixIt Guide. The new guide is immediately available, free at PBFixIt.com/Guide.

The Mac Mini FixIt Guide contains detailed disassembly instructions that walk the reader through the process of easily accessing and upgrading parts. The Guides make Mini disassembly so simple, even novices can upgrade their RAM, hard drive, or DVD drive with ease. In addition to the Mac Mini, FixIt Guides are also available for all iBook G3, PowerBook G3, and PowerBook G4 models.

PB FixIt is also making all FixIt Guides available as free downloadable PDFs. "There is no reason to pay Apple's ridiculous labor fees ever again," said Kyle Wiens, PB FixIt's CEO. "The FixIt Guides have empowered thousands of people to upgrade and repair their Macs themselves. Offering free PDFs was the obvious next step. We're enabling the masses."

"With a simple internet connection and a fourth grade reading level, anyone can purchase parts and repair his or her own Mac at home. We have thousands of parts to choose from, any tools you could possibly need, and we'll even show you how to do it for free. Save yourself the $100/hour in labor. Buy something nice for your husband or wife or kids instead. You do the work, we just make it easy."

FixIt Guides are now available for these computers:
* Mac Mini
* PowerBook G3 (233 - 500 MHz)
* iBook G3 (300 - 900 MHz)
* PowerBook G4 Titanium (400 MHz - 1 GHz)
