G5 iMac caps
Just a few questions about replacing the capacitors in a G5 iMac. 1. What type of capacitors should I get to replace them? Obviously, the same voltage and model number, but if I remember, there's a couple different kind; electrolyte, aluminum, and whatnot, and the dry kind are better? 2. Should I replace just the bulging ones, or replace all of them? There are 23, and only 5 are actually bulging; only one is actually leaking. I'm leaning towards just replacing all of them, but it really depends on cost. I'm just wondering if there's a good chance the others will go bad, or after this long all the ones that are going to go bad already have?

Re: WE have been spammed
GMail doesn't recognize periods or underscores, so many (mine!) GMail addresses have been used for spam - and, I expect, always will be. I'm always delighted to see, in Mandaarin or Korean, that my message couldn't be delivered... On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 2:14 PM, Tim Stephens t...@tjstephens.com wrote: You just reposted it.

You should replace ALL the caps, with the same kind that are installed now. A capacitor can look good and be faulty, so don't go by looks alone, especially when dealing with iMac G5 and eMac G4 capacitors. There are a number of places online that sell cap sets, including eBay. Here's a good place to start: http://jimwarholic.com/2008/07/how-to-repair-apple-imac-g5.php I've successfully bought and installed capacitors from Jim Warholic as well as from eBay vendors. You're most likely to have success if the iMac still boots and runs, even if for only a few seconds -- in my experience. Dead as a doornail iMac G5s that don't chime and light up the screen most likely have suffered terminal damage to the logic board. (Been there, replaced all the caps, only to find the iMac was dead, dead, dead.)
