Thanks for the info! The friend I was referring to used to rebuild broken ATX power supplies, so I am certain he knows a lot about all different kinds of capacitors. My guess is that he removes the old one and checks the writings/codes on it to see which type it is and then either has a replacement at hands or is ordering one the next day. Anyway, this information will be useful, I will tell this to him when I ask him for help. (If the apple certified repair company doesn't want to help me, that is…) Thanks, Andreas aka Mac User #330250 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
