I have here a 17" G5 iMac, 1.8GHz processor model that will not power up. It seems to be a blown power supply because there is a spot of smoke-like afterburn on the motherboard right next to the power supply. It looks as if something in the power supply blew and the small explosion went outward and slightly burned some of the raw pcb at the edge of the motherboard. The burn doesn't extend far enough to have touched any circuits or anything, though. I have no way of testing this since I have no extra power supply, so it would be "at-your-own-risk" if we work a deal. The case is not very scuffed and the lcd is pretty clean and I didn't notice any scratches on it. It is possible that replacing the power supply will be all that is required, but it could be more, so this is a gamble. If you need parts, this may be your ticket for reviving your old machine.
I have stripped the hard drive, optical drive, and memory from it already. It does not include Airport.
