    Regardless,

    That's the whole PSU board. Make's sense now. I Was wondering why such a huge board with big components was dedicated to the webcam, of all things.
    As far as I know there were 3 models of iMac G5, the iMac the iMac ALS (ambient light sensor) , and iSight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G5

    The iSight model of iMac G5 looks like a regular G5 with a built-in camera.
    Inside however it's way different than the regular iMac.
    36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....

        Well my bad. Somehow I pissed the "iMac" part in the title. Good luck.

            Intel iMacs, 3rd party SSD failures and Fusion setups
            by reformatt
            I thought I'd throw out some of my personal experiences in the last 12 months with Intel iMacs, 2.5" SATA SSD drives and Fusion drive data recoveries.

            As a backgrounder, Apple never fitted a 2.5" SSD's to these iMacs. Apple's SSD option was a system of 32GB NVMe blade drive (NGFF connector) and Seagate 1TB 2.5" HDD, married together in software to become a Fusion drive. Non Fusion systems have just the 1TB Seagate HDD.

            So, the most common reason an iMac comes across my bench is because it's either ridiculously slow, or it fails to boot at all. The most...

            iMac A1418 - No LED, no power after overvoltage on Ethernet port
            by ryogadan78
            Hi guys, I need your help again.
            I have this iMac from a customer that shut down during a storm along with all the other devices in the house. In particular, the router, connected via Ethernet to the iMac, caught fire.
            When I removed the screen from the iMac to check the status of the LEDs, I noticed that none of them were lit. I had a perfectly compatible and working power supply, so I tried it right away, but the problem remained the same (no LEDs). With the thermal camera, I noticed only a slight warming (32 degrees) of the NCP1605BG chip on the power supply. The rest was completely...

            iMac M1 DFU restore issue
            by Stephen
            iMac turns on no drops no cracks, tried to DFU Restore the iMac, logo turns on great! however iMac turns itself off and then restarts to the (!) icon and won't post the restore. Tried thunderbolt 3 cable, tried regular USB C cable and nothing.

            this is the message it gives me with the error

            Unexpected device state 'DFU' expected 'RestoreOS' (Probably forced into DFU mode externally) [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore – 0xFAE (4014)].


            Any thoughts what this could be? I will open it up and repair it but I am not 100% sure since this iMac doesn't...

            iMac 27” 2020 Boot issue
            by Stephen
            Customer came in for data recovery, came to find out data is soldered on to this iMac (learn something new everyday) this is a 2020 T2 iMac so I was surprised because the iMac Pro has a T2 chip and it isn’t soldered on. Anyways, the iMac boots to Apple logo and then restarts, before it turns off you hear a quarter fan spin then it repeats itself. I decided to do a DFU revive to restore any hardware firmware issues and it was successful in reviving the device however the issue persists in boot looping. It shows the Apple logo for like 40 seconds then turns off and fan spin rinse repeat. I...
