The key is that it's a G5. It's a power supply issue most likely; the G5 iMacs 
were the Mac model most affected by the great Capacitor Plague 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague>.

The service you're referring to almost certainly is a cap replacement service. 
There are services and kits available to do this for both the logic board and 
the power supply.
