  • you really should use a ESD-Matt (Electro Static Discharge) it's much better for every electronic part as without

  • great video :)

    does iFixit ship globally? and do you carry power supplies for the g5 24" iMac?

  • Thank you!

  • this is just great for 1st generation,

    2nd generation iMacG5 is not opened this way

    

  • People still use these?

  • I think I'm in love with m.j.

  • What?? A woman repairing computers??? Now I've seen it all! XD

  • Super easy! I called the Apple Store to get a replacement and after 3 phone calls, they still wouldn't sell me one without a) their "genius" taking it apart to diagnose the issue, or b) an activated Apple Care program for my machine. What BS!!

    Good thing for indie dealers. If you are in So Cal, near Northern Orange., Riverside, or East L.A. Counties, look up LA Computer Co. in Anaheim. They had my part in stock and I went over to pick up and install same day. -Mike
