FireWire iBooks: installing an AirPort card; power adapter problem confirmed

CNET staff
Installing AirPort cards Peter Trinder note another potential issue (see previous item) with the new (FireWire) vs. old iBooks: "I had a problem installing an AirPort card in the new iBook. The keyboard connector now has a clear plastic loop to assist unplugging the mylar ribbon cable (not present in older iBooks). As you insert the Airport card, it seems to push this loop forward into the space where the card socket is. I cured this by cutting a small square (4mm square) of double sided tape and sticking the loop back towards the back of the iBook. It seems to me that if users are unaware of this they could end up damaging either the loop or the connectors if the card were forced in."
