[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 988361, member: 56379"] I'm going to guess that if you consider the value of an iMac G5...and you're having motherboard problems...the cost for a professional computer person to repair it (or replace the defective part(s)) is going to be a very large percentage of it's current value...and thus not worth it. One thing to consider (I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with this iMac G5 because I haven't seen it or evaluated it)...but some of them did suffer from bad capacitors...and there is some DIY info about this on the internet. Some of the DIY repairs for this can be fairly inexpensive...but you have to have the skills & confidence to do it. It might help if you gave us a bit more model info on this iMac G5...such as it's processor speed & screen size? HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
