It's free and at this point you have nothing to lose. Take the card off the heat sink and clean all the paste off. Pre heat oven to 390 F (pre heat is important) Place card on 4 small aluminum foil balls at the corners Bake for 7 mins Open door and let board cool don't touch it or move it. When cool reinstall (don't forget to apply new paste). I have also found some with faulty fans so check the fan working before you put it all back together.

( From Micromat: Note that the eDrive is a preferable option to the DVD (for 10.6, which I am using), being faster, more functional, and easier to update. Because it appears that Apple is no longer going to update the boot DVD that we use, the eDrive will be more compatible moving forward.) Micromat suggested that I make a partition on my internal drive for the edrive. But wouldn't I have to erase the whole drive and start over? I see no reason to have the eDrive on the internal because usually the internal has a problem that needs to be addressed with an external tool, So, how large should the partitions be for a SuperDuper back up (I have a 500 gig hard drive), Time machine and TechToolPro edrive? You need 500 for the SuperDuper back up. And the eDrive partition will be as small as Disk Utility will allow you to make. I would put it on a USB thumb drive. I am also wondering if I should add a 4th partition and leave it blank for future use.

How to test G5 iMac Power supply
I have a 17 1.83 very early iMac that won't boot. It was working and I tried to boot it and all I got was half a chime and then nothing. This machine has no LED's for checking so I removed the PS to check for fat caps but they look ok to me. So I want to know how to check voltages. I guess what I need is a way to power the supply to check the pins. Anyone done this? Here are the pics of it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36728487/PS%20iMac.zip John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA MacPro 2.66 Quad Nehalem -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 From iMac Core Duo 2.0 Yes, I've upgraded a Core Duo processor in a white iSight iMac to a Core 2 Duo processor. The processor fits into a socket and is thus removable. That's the good news. The bad news is that you have to disassemble the iMac to remove the logic board so you can get at the screws that clamp the heat sink over the processor. It's an almost complete disassembly, so you would be well advised to obtain an Apple service manual for the iMac in question. Don't forget to use fresh thermal paste -- I like Arctic Silver. If you're planning to do this so you can run OS X 10.7 Lion, you need to understand that the Lion installer doesn't care a whit about what processor you've installed. It looks for the Model Identifier in About This Mac (iMac8,1, for example) and compares the one it finds with the list of models on which Lion can be installed. So even if your upgraded now-Core 2 Duo iMac otherwise runs perfectly, the Lion installer will not install directly and will give you the old white circle with a slash screen to show its displeasure. However, there is a workaround to get Lion up and running on Lion-incompatible Intel Macs with Lion-compatible Core 2 Duo processor upgrades. Here's a detailed explanation of how to do it I wrote last August to explain how I did it to some clients who wanted me to upgrade their iMac and their Mac Mini from Core Duo to Core 2 Duo. Here's the process. Keep in mind this was written in the very first days of Lion, so you may already have a USB Lion thumb driver installer, and thus can skip to Step 8: Thank you Jim for the details in line 9 and 10 they are very important to know. I've been using the thumb drives but haven't run into this issue yet so this will save me a lot of hair pulling. My main reason for the original question was if there was any other pitfalls on the MOBO between the models other than the sockets being the same. Now would any know where I gat get a Core 2 Duo 2.16 processor besides pulling one from a machine?sj John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA MacPro 2.66 Quad Nehalem -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Bad logic board?
I have a iMac Core Duo 20 2.0 that did a kernel panic and I couldn't get it to boot any external drives I tried a 10.5 DVD installer and I could hear it spinning but the keyboard wasn't responding due to the dead ports. All the ports had no power but some times after trying to zap PRAM the Apple would come on and then back to the kernel panic it wouldn't chime and I got no lights on the keyboard. When I pressed the power button it would light up then fade away. So I had to get this thing back on line fast so I replaced the logic board. Then someone told me it may have been the RAM. In the past a RAM issue seems to give some warning flashes to indicate the problem. Did I jump the gun here?

I was hoping for a solution other that taking a chance with the pliers. It's a mechanical problem and that requires a mechanical solution. Or you can try some of the late Steve's magical thinking. Some RAM manufacturers don't adhere to size standards as religiously as they should, which is why you're looking at a too-tight interference fit that requires a brute force resolution. HTH, Jim Brute force it will be, I just installed a MOBO in this machine and I really didn't pay attention to the slots being tight. But the magical thinking is an option.

Stuck RAM
I just got an iMac 20 Core Duo and I can't even budge the RAM sticks, anyone know a method that's rather safe, I'm afraid to damage them by grabbing them too hard with needle nose.
