[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 679536, member: 51635"] The only problem with trying to fix a Mac yourself is that only the Mac Pros are really designed to be opened up by the user. iMacs certainly aren't. Opening one in a way that is discoverable by a real Apple person will void the warranty, which can hurt you as well as anyone that you may sell the unit to later on. Macs (not counting Mac Pro) are more like consumer electronics devices that have very limited upgradeability. Throw more RAM in it, maybe a bigger hard disk, and otherwise once you want a new one, the old one goes on Craigslist or Ebay. A broken one goes back to Apple to get repaired. [/QUOTE]
