    iMac G5 non-intel logicboard removal

    Greetings all. I have a 3 year old iMac G5 non-intel with one obviously bad cap. I've been told to replace the logicboard, but after finding this great site I think I'll send it in to Badcaps to have the caps replaced. Do any instructions exist on how to remove and replace the board on my own? Anything I need to be aware of and/or do once I boot up for the first time?
    Thanks!

      theres some stuff here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2278?viewlocale=en_US
      but you should check with TC about whether he wants the board or the whole thing as he may want to test it after recapping.

              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...

              MDM removal on 16 inch 2019 A2141 MBP & 15 inch 2018 MBP A1990
              by TimScrawn
              Hi there,

              This is my first post. I just wanted to come here to get a clear answer from some people about MDM removal on the 16 inch 2019 A2141 MBP & 15 inch 2018 MBP A1990. I have seen a lot of things on MDM removal, and wanted to know exactly what is needed to remove it, and what the best option is in 2024 when running Sonoma.

              I know that Checkm8 have an MDM removal service now, that seems to be a permanent removal. I also have heard you can remove the T2 ROM and use a programmer to read the data and change the serial number. Im not 100 percent sure if this is a...
