Marion's iMac G5 (first version) has just gone phut. Logic board
failure, which seems to be a VERY common problem but which Apple
won't fix. Estimated cost to get a replacement board fitted: 513
pounds. I guess they want us to throw the machine away.
Is there a source of reasonably-priced working iMac G5 logic boards?
Might be worth double checking. My mother-in-law's G5 iMac went phut in
the summer (while I was visiting of course), seemingly a logic board - I
used the information on Apple's support pages, and went through the
diagnostic tests (with the LEDs). The board mounted power switch didn't
work, LED 1 was lit, the article concluded a logic board failure.
I advised her to take it to an Apple repairer, which she did, and it did
turn out to be the PSU, and cost less than £200 to fix.
Both are in fact common problems.
