Hi, I just read your post and I'm having the same problem with 3 g5 iSights. I've recapped fully them all, and no chime, full fan, and black screen with only led's 1 and 2 on. Did you find a solution? I've gone over the solder again on each, just to make sure no cold joints but perhaps there still is some? Thanks for an info on your fix!

Hi all, I'm here because I have two iMac g5's I'm going to recap. This site and others have been very helpful. I'm a carpenter, have been into making electric rc airplanes and motors so have been doing loads of soldering, albeit not on pcbs... Still diagnosing my imacs issues, but do see 5-6 bulging caps on each logic board so think I'm on the right track. Hopefully if I have any issues I will see them already discussed as this is an old problem of this apple product... But know that there are also loads of experienced folks...
