[QUOTE="hillpw, post: 293195, member: 24300"] Hi all, Ok, yesterday i had a networking cable run vicariously and needless to say i tripped over it and brought my new iMac crashing down to the floor. Now when i try and power it up the little light on the bottom right hand corner goes on for a second and goes right back off... Now I started trying to take it apart but most of the tutorials i read on the matter were written for iMacs without the isight camera. I figure someone is going to tell me to bring it in to an apple dealer to have them look at it but if it is possible i would like to try and attempt to repair it on my own. I have a good background in repairing windows machines but i've never touched my mac or opened it because i havent had to ;). Any ideas? I'm not sure how far that kind of expertise goes on this forum but any help would be greatly appreciated. Paul Oh BTW its a 17" G5 model with the 1.9 Ghz processor, third generation i believe.
