iMac 20 G5 screen repair

2009-11-03 Thread Charles Taylor


Hi Glenn,

Of course you could just replace the machine (the new ones do look good) 
but then you would be stuck with an otherwise good machine that has a 
very low resale value.


However the damage to your screen certainly appears to be just the LCD 
panel, of which we have a couple good secondhand ones in stock.


The cost to you would be approximately $500.00 fitted (by Apple 
certified technician).

Thanks Charles,
That is a lot less than the $USD estimate. Good to know.

The 2nd monitor option certainly seems a much better way to get the
machine going than a screen repair.
Really appreciate everyone's help on this one.

 Although there's no comparison in quality you can get a 20 BenQ LCD for
 around $150 and a 23.5 for around $230.  Perhaps you'd be better off
 getting one of those and using your distorted iMac screen as a secondary
 monitor.

 Hi Wamuggers,

 Our iMac G5 20 took a swan dive recently. The display is still
 working, but there is some kind of damage at the top of the screen
 that shows two ink-blot style marks bleeding down from the top of the
 screen. Below that damage there is a 2cm wide set of vertical lines
 being displayed down the full height of the screen - almost looks like
 a vertical split bar.

 A 'screenshot' showing the damage is here:

 Bottom line - can it be fixed? What is it likely to cost compared to
 cost of a new iMac.

Re: iMac 20 G5 screen repair

2009-11-01 Thread Neil Houghton

Hi Glen,

Another option if you want to move up to a nice intel iMac but can't quite
spring for the price of the new models (beautiful  excellent value as they
are!) is that stock of the previous model iMacs seems to being cleared at
much reduced prices (I noticed a 24 was $2499 now $1699 recently - but
you may find better).

Personally, I wouldn't spend much money on repairing a 20 G5 iMac but if
memory serves me correctly they have a video out port - so if you wanted to
get a bit more life out of it you could always plug an external monitor into
it - not a pretty solution but there are some cheap monitors out there...


Just some thoughts.


Cheers

Neil

 Hi Glenn,
 
 Ouch ... not nice! To replace the LCD Screen will be expensive.
 $759US quoted here, they are in Santa Clara, CA (Local Drop Off ...
 absolutely no use to you other than an idea of the price involved).

 Is it covered by your Insurance Policy - Accidental Damage?
 The new iMacs are beautiful machines ;-)
 Especially the new 27 iMac ... it's a Wow machine!

 cost involved and the price of a NEW iMac.

2009-11-01 Thread Stuart Evans

Hi Glen,

Neil is correct. If any resellers have stock, Apple have reduced all iMacs
by around $700. We have our last 24 iMac in the store which is now $1698.
The stock of our 'old' iMacs got snapped up in a couple of days. We have a
27 iMac next to the 24 and you can see the difference in the colour and
sharpness of the display. I love my MacBook Pro but I think a 27 iMac is
going to be my Christmas present.  :-)

Thanks everyone for all the information, I can see the main options are:

- external monitor circa $400
- get a new iMac (or a new 'old' iMac)

I agree the 27 Macs are pretty interesting.

Hi Glen,

FYI. Had a look at the G5 LCD screen prices. Without the serial number I
can't be 100% but you are looking at either ~$439 (plus labour) or ~$700
(plus labour) depending on your specific model.

Hi Wamuggers,

Our iMac G5 20 took a swan dive recently. The display is still
working, but there is some kind of damage at the top of the screen
that shows two ink-blot style marks bleeding down from the top of the
screen. Below that damage there is a 2cm wide set of vertical lines
being displayed down the full height of the screen - almost looks like
a vertical split bar.

A 'screenshot' showing the damage is here:

Bottom line - can it be fixed? What is it likely to cost compared to
cost of a new iMac.


Hi Glenn,

Ouch ... not nice! To replace the LCD Screen will be expensive.
$759US quoted here, they are in Santa Clara, CA (Local Drop Off ...  
absolutely no use to you other than an idea of the price involved).

Is it covered by your Insurance Policy - Accidental Damage?
The new iMacs are beautiful machines ;-)
Especially the new 27 iMac ... it's a Wow machine!

Daniel Kerr I'm sure will be able to give you a better idea of the  
cost involved and the price of a NEW iMac.
