Hi all,
I have recently replaced all the caps in a iMac G5 20" (first edition) and the bad caps in the power supply.(Delta PSU)
Idle heat is 48 degrees C and about 78 under load.
The machine had 6 visually bad caps but I replaced them all just to be safe.
After the caps were replaced the machine still shows issues (lines , shut downs etc) , it however does pass the AHT test without issue.
The caps were replaced and no damaged noted to the cap pads. Removal was done with a high quality solder station + desoldering station setup
I have noted flexing the case slightly causes the issues to appear. Pressing the caps or wiggling them to determine bad connects while the machine is running does nothing.
Would it be safe to assume the GPU has become detached (flex during desoldering) or prior to the removal of the caps?
Any tips ideas greatly accepted.
