Go and download the guides from iFixit they are great and if followed should prevent any problems with disassembly and reassembly. The do a google search on the web for "bad capacitors" there is a site I don't remember the name or url but this site tells you how to open the power supply so you can replace the Caps. Be advised I'm not sure about the power supply circuit board but the computer mother board is multilayer so you need to know how to solder to a multilayer circuit board. There is also a site (www.badcaps.net) who can do this work for you. It may be worth you while to check it out. I had him do 2 motherboards for G5 iMacs the result was great and both iMacs survived the operation with no problems Wayne
