I tried to turn on my iMac G5 this morning and it wouldn't come up. It just made a little squeek sound and then would die. After troubling shooting all the usual suspects I figured the power supply at the very least was completely shot and possibly the logic board as well. I took it into my local Apple store fearing the worst... Everybody knows that a logic board transplant is not a cheap proposition... And I am 3 months past the 1 year warranty. (no applecare.... stupid... stupid....stupid)
They took in the back and analyzed it... just as suspected both the PS and the mobo are fried. $967 including labor... But the genius bar guy was absolutely awesome about it. He went ahead and pushed it through as if it was under warranty because "this is something that should not have gone wrong and you really shouldn't have to pay for it."
New mobo and PS including labor absolutely free! Woohoo! I pick it up tomorrow. Thanks again Apple!
