[QUOTE="Jkendr46, post: 1384881, member: 242249"] [b]repairing the bulging, leaking, and exploding capacitors[/b] I performed this repair last week. 2 capacitors on the logic board were not only bulging, but leaking as well. It took about 3 hours to perform the repair. I replaced ALL the caps on the logic board. The caps on the power supply were also bulging. I decided to purchase a converted ATX power supply from a person out of Miami FL (via Ebay). I am at this moment using my repaired iMac G5 (The same as yours). BTW, I suggest you use a 60watt soldering iron. [/QUOTE]
