[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1118835, member: 56379"] I was going to mention that I decided to take one of my iMac G3's apart to see how easy/hard to was to get to the cable you needed to disconnect. I gotta tell ya...it is no simple process! There is a lot of disassembly...and this is when Apple was still putting things together with a lot of "snap together" plastic pieces. So this makes disassembly more difficult...since the plastic pieces don't want to come apart easily...and the chances of something (plastic) breaking is pretty high. I worked on it for about an hour (being careful)...and I still have some disassembly to go. So if you don't have to take your G3 iMac apart..don't...unless you're curious & up for a challenge!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
