imac g5, dying

[theultimatedestroy80]

can i have it? :)

[MrPuppy66]

Lets all prey for this mac.....

[NZXTInerTia]

Can't change the graphics card on an iMac. Its onboard.

[Halterung01]

It definitely was a fail of the graphics adapter...

i had pretty much the same problem with a radeon 9200...

[geekgurl03]

What A perfect way to die seeing pretty colours

[slv22do]

the gpu is dead. But repair is useless as Apple does not support ppcs anymore so get a new Intel one that runs Snow or Lion.

[MyDDDRRR]

This is why 88.93 percent of pepole what ave computer have PC.

Ps. PC have more crashes...

[magillicuddy]

That looked like the old school cartoon "virus" eating your iMac! Mine did that too. That's so cool if it didn't have to die for it.

[TheColePearson]

Death in TeChN1C0L0R! Mine died too... I'm swapping the capacitors this weekend. ;)

[EZBuildable]

RIP  imac g5 you will be missed

[sziszi95]

OMG

[justine1307]

Hi there I have the early model g5 2004 I think it may be the same thing wrong with mine. Read your replacement blog. I've been to apple genius and they say it's the graphics card. Mine have no fancy colours just weird pixel flashes. Do u think worth replacing graphics card or binning?

Many thanks. Jx

PS There is some eight abusive idiots on u tube isn't there. Read some of your comments. Jesus.

[djisadj1]

THAT WAS SICK

[TheMagicMacStop]

i know someone who died with a CPU failure

[EpicMan83]

Rainbow screen of death! Or the new kernel panic.

[TheAvery86]

Take a scrrenshot! That could be my next wallpaper!

[cellphonesrock76]

That broke my heart :( R.I.P iMac g5

[TheSkullcrusher73]

Wow at least it dyed beautifully RIP

[alexanderb85]

fu.....k imac's my imac g5 27" die similary to this mac :S

[winfr34k]

@alexanderb85 Am I wrong or is there non imac 27" with a g5?

[starkid423]

@alexanderb85 There was never a 27" G5, 27" was introduced just last year. 

[Domziiee]

Wow, that's what my computer does sometimes when I turn it on.

It's so cool but it's a bad thing.

It's just a bunch of colored lines then turns into a cloudy bluey thing.

[haxor758]

thats how i want to die

[AndreaFranchitti]

wow!!! cool effects btw XD

[Hercules984]

RIP

[mrlego611]

May u Rest In Peace iMac

[DarkMew1337]

owch...

[jamesschader]

it's... it's...dying...you have to save it, give it to an apple store! tell them to fix it! they have to be able to do something for it!

[bigdima3]

lolks like a fukd GPU not the screen,

[slaterking1000]

Screen or video card is bust.

[muk546]

bad lcd $200-300 fix

[junglemage666]

wrong, its a logic board capacitor issue, they were defective, and they fail.. easy fix, just replace the capacitors yourself or get a tech to do it if your scared. Doesnt hurt to do it yourself and learn though.

[nitrous9200]

Gotta love the video description - a "beautiful drama" and a "colorful dance".

[MattieKirby1]

Ok:

1. you cant spell Dieing

2. everyone who argues over Mac & PC are dumbass, it depends on what you want it for as to what you use it for(me personaly prefer Pc a lot.).

And finaly 3. whats the point of making a video about a mac not working?

[stevietrendy]

MattieKirby1-

OK

#1- It is YOU who cannot spell "dying"

#2 It appears you also have trouble with "personally" and "finally"

#3- It doesn't surprise me you are you a PC user.

[GretGugliMugli]

But "dying" is right, and you cannot spell "personally" and "finally" ! Remain being a PC user.

[meesieb]

@MattieKirby1 U'r right!

[meesieb]

@MattieKirby1 But u'r "Dieing" isn't...

[JustinTW995]

NOOOOOO! =[

[pandf123]

[sniffs] so sad :(

[stydel311]

try re-installing OS X

[SaberTanker22]

So beautiful work of art.

[MacUsersGuide]

ztultus is experiencing a known video and/or power problem related to a component glitch on the logic board of first-generation iMac G5s. At the time Apple commented that systems falling within one of these these 4 five-digit ranges were affected: CK435-CK522, QP435-QP522, W8435-W8522 and YD435-YD522 and were sold during August 31, 2004 - May 3, 2005. I had three of these go bad showing either video or power problems and I made one good one. Check out my repair on my Channel at MacUsersGuide.

[stainglassfox]

WOAH!!! MOSAIC OF DEATH!!!

[lostalex77]

i wish my computer could do that. so preeeeeetty.

[ben54222]

funny, I'm cooking XP3, Vista (nice try microsoft) Windows 7 build 7048, ubuntu and of course OSX 10.5.7... oh did I mention all at the same time.... love the guys that say mac sucks cause they don't have one..lolol

[Sykoangelo]

just like a fuckin mac.... i truely despise apple..... great idea but if ur monitor goes ur whole computer does... sad really still fuck apple they use fuckin intel noone likes intel ...... AMD ALL THE WAY!!!

[oxlel001]

No, just open in up and fit a knew LCD screen dipwad.

[JWLR97]

It's over 9000!!!

[BedfordMarcus]

Aw! What a shame. The iMac G5 is a brilliant computer (well mac) and It just decide to die. That video did upset me abit because it made it's own Mac Chime Sound and then the screen just dies. Is it a problem with the graphics card or something. Whatever never through it away because it is ilegal to throw computers into landfill!

[irulethe70s]

reflow the gpu

[larskbragdon]

same thing hapened to my power mac g5 desktop i just replaced the ram and the graphics card and i was ready to go

[tfitch07]

poor thing. you should put it in the ground where all mac belong. Whooops oh shit im on a mac!

[bobbytomorow]

is there an easy fix for this issue?

[Halterung01]

That's style!

[volkomstone123swik]

the video i responded with is like similar to yours and i was wondering if you fixed it or is it fixable? please let me know thanks =]

[KonvoyChief]

I feel your pain...

The iMac may look nice, but doesn't have the longevity

[spaceboychile]

It's a poetic dead,a sort of arty: very apple

[SwiftRoman]

That are defective capacitors indeed. Easy to fix.

I fixed some already myself.

[slaterking1000]

I bet u can smell the burning GPU in there.

[sixtafoua]

it looks cool! even when it's dead it still makes you happy!  yay! rules

[ale12396]

What's that square!? The square yay, the square rules?

[min47pgl]

You must be a windows user. It is an apple. The apple only works on macs.

[ale12396]

Yeah, I use windows, it's better than mac!

[Aquacat26]

Thats why it is a square. I noticed that on my PC and Mac. Its an apple icon on Mac and a square on PC

[Dawg658Jr]

Why do they call it "death" for macs? I've always wondered that.

[reallyred123]

because macs are like people. lol jk idk.

[Dawg658Jr]

Omg, Steve Jobs has something to hide. :O

[simkinggold101]

im dyyyiinnggg

[chngngsldr54]

???

[jimwest2]

This is very similar to how my iMac G5 started having problems. As it turned out, the capacitors were bad on the motherboard. Read the complete capacitor story and what the fix is for the problem. Do a search on Google Search for: iMac G5 motherboard capacitors.

[Aquacat26]

i noticed that the startup chime was shorter than normal...

[volkomstone123swik]

omfg finally ...hey do you know whats wrong with cause mine does the same thing it staarts like that then the more i turn it off on and it works for like five mins ..do you know how i can fix it??? please

[th3sp0rk]

the vac board, logic board, or monitor failed..... idk which one... but it's certainly cool!

[danooct1]

The multicolor screen of death.

[toastface5]

:'(

[T966ER]

At least it was colorful unlike the......kernel panic!

[MacBookGuy91]

I see some guy holding a camera with a blue shirt.

[elperelol]

its a white shirt, methinks

[Snipereye64]

uhoh

[thedavish]

thats the Coolest way to die!

[AppleMacNerd1024]

It's your logic board

[i847]

It's an early G5, because it doesn't have the built-in iSight camera.

[captainbryan]

I'm pretty sure that's an intel, not a G5. I could be wrong though.

[jsk14jeca]

It's a G5 because the G5 models had the power button reachable on the right side while Intel models have the power button reachable on the left. And also, all Intel models have an iSight camera, this one doesn't, so it's an early G5 model.

[RngrHawk]

Ouch... did you return it or scrap it>?

[ztultus]

Well I don't really know what happened to it, since I just told the tech support and they took charge of it. I suppose it has been returned to Apple and they've changed the motherboard or graphics card. Now it works fine again, but I can't tell really what has been done.

[iApple4000]

Your Graphics Card Broke

[vidgameman334]

yeah
