[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1812473, member: 175845"] I'd suggest doing a bit more Googling for all the problems with those machines. They were NOT one of Apple's better products as far as reliability goes. You might want to consider how much you want to spend before you start getting too involved. You can start at some places like this: [url]https://www.instructables.com/id/Imac-G5-DIY-capacitors-repair/[/url] And of course more hits from here: [url]https://www.google.com/search?q=g5+capacitor+replacement&oq=g5+capacitor+replacement&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.13703j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8[/url] But definitely, those caps have seen better days, and there are various replacement kits available, but you may have to touch up on your lead-free soldering skills. :Smirk: - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
