Good to know that Apple has recognized it, and that they're doing something 'bout it. Thanks for the link. BTW what exactly are the parts that need to be repaired/ replaced?

I don't know the MacInTouch forum although I know their site, but I do know the MacFixIt forums and I do like the answers posted there. I did find some help there in the past after searching for different topics via Google. Marc -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
