Hey guys I have taken apart and put back together a LOT of macs, but I have never soldered anything to anything in there and I'm a little nervous here.
I recently bought a used iMac G5 1st gen 1.8ghz and it boots up and operates quite well for extended periods. This week it started turning itself off spontaneously. So I opened it up and looked to find two bulging capacitors next to the heat sink. Bummer. I did some research and learned that the capacitors can be replaced. So I bought them, and a solder station, and I'm gonna give it a go. Gotta check the PSU as well, I think. Anyway, does anybody here have any experience with this procedure? Any tips or advice would be welcomed. Thanks Jason -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
