I have a G4 iMac, and where the mains (AC) cable enters the case

looks a little exposed and I have to "jiggle it a bit" to get the
iMac to power up (the cat is probably to blame!). I therefore need
to open up the case and reattach the wire securely to the iMac and
make everything safe. Is it an easy procedure? Is there an online
guide with pictures? Can anyone offer me any advice or personal
experience of opening up the iMac? Thanks!
Kevin,
I just had to do this to my iMac recently to debug its failure to
start up. It turns out my hard drive died, so I had the thing
completely apart. It's not a difficult procedure, but you must have
thermal paste to replace the old paste when you crack the case open.
Just take your time, and don't force anything.
Daniel
