Imac G5 Repair



IMac G5 (17-inch), null Posted on Aug 23, 2016 3:04 AM Reply I have this question too (16) I have this question too Me. Run Repair Disk. If this is able to correct. Specialty Services — iMac G5 Main Logic Board Repair. Beginning in mid-2009, in association with Hartland-based Pure-Logic, we began offering repair service for the infamous capacitor failures that plagued 1st and 2nd generation iMac G5 systems. These include the 17' and 20' models with 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 GHz G5 processors. I had a first generation G5 iMac, which I sold to a friend about 6 months ago. When I had it, it qualified for the 'iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues.' I got a new motherboard. Twice, as the second time the same problem occurred. My friend called tonight and he is experiencing video issues and the Mac cannot boot.

  • The Imac G5 was was plagued with the Capcitor problems, Apple started a special warranty program to repair all those Imac's. That program has bin terminated, but I have seen the same problem with the timecapsule as well. Today there are not that many people that want to repair there imac G5 but for those, here we go.
  • It seems the rules for reseting the power management unit for the iMac G5s is the same as that of the PowerMac G5 machines. In my case, the late 2004 G5 processor, that simply involves removing the main power cord for a few minutes and plugging it back in. Once I did that, my fans returned to normal speed.

Apple stopped online service but this should point you to the right sensors --> HWSensors.6.26.1440.Binaries this is a freeware , recommendation is to buy a PRO version and to suport development of the tool.
I also have board View, please request as this is exe file
this is board J44 MLB-4GB. The schematic doesn't specifically reference 820-3436 , so I would assume it's valid for several boards.
Airport proximity on the board is non existing , so if you have 129 reads on it , just ignore it.
Sziasztok
A kérdés az, hogy lehet-e, és ha lehet hogyan. Egyszerű adaptert el tudok készíteni. A neten nem találtam semmi használhatót.

Imac G5 Power Supply Repair

egy ilyen tipusú adapter szedtem szét és a megtört kábelt rövidebbre fogva visszakötöttem. na de nem is itt a gond, hanem az, hogy miképpen lehet letesztelni ezt a cuccot számítógép nélkűl. ugyanis terhelés nélkűl 6.88V van a fegyverzeteken, de ha leterhelem egy 20 Ohm ellenállással, akkor viszont nincs semmi. mielőtt visszaküldeném a kuncsaftnak mégis biztos szeretnék lenni, hogy minden OK. ha valakinek bármilyen tapasztalata van ezzel kapcsolatban elöre meg is köszönném a tanácsot/segítséget

Tisztelt kolegák, saját iMac 1200-as ba keresek grafikus kártyát. Hibás kártyával vettem, a dobozon nvidia 7300 at ír, de benne 7600 volt, MXM, amit az Apple szervízben építettek bele, de mindegy, teljesen beadtada az unalmast, nem javítható. A netten utánnanézve teljesen irreális pénzt kérnek egy használt, de amúgy is a pusztulásra ítélt kátyákért. Most, a hirdetésekben találtam egy bontott ATI kártyát amelyet ugyanaz az évjáratbol származó iMac 1225-böl mazsoláztak ki, működik és elfogadható áron. A kérdésem az az, hogy kompatibilis e a két kártya. A netten sokféle véleménnyel szolgálnak és arra az ökölszabályra hivatkoznak, hogy ha valami egy apple slot-ba bekattintható az akkor működni is fog, habár én erre nem vennék mérget. Ha a tisztelt kolegáknak van e téren tapasztalata vagy rászaladt egy olyan infóra amely igazolja vagy cáfolja az ökölszabályt azt nagyon megköszönném. Üdvözletem

Imac G5 Repair

There is no Recovery or Internet Recovery in a G5 Mac. The highest system you can install is Leopard (10.5) and this can only be done from the install disks. The originally installed system was Tiger (1.04), again, installable only from install disks. Either type of install disk can be booted from to run a check on the hard disk from Disk Utility. You cannot boot from the Time Machine disk as it does not contain an operating system.

Your first step is to boot from the install disk for whichever system you have installed - insert the disk then reboot holding command-c. When it's loaded (which will take some time) go to the Utilities menu and choose Disk Utility: run Repair Disk. If this is able to correct any errors you should then try to install from the disk.
