by warranty or an extended AppleCare service agreement.
Special CompTIA Codes
Apple has created the following two CompTIA Codes to use for repairs on iMac products
eligible for coverage under the iMac G5 REP for Video and Power Issues:
• Use CompTIA Code 560: iMac G5 MLB/Power Supply REP when replacing a logic
board, whether or not the iMac is covered by warranty or an extended service
agreement
• Use CompTIA Code 660: iMac G5 MLB/Power Supply REP when replacing a power
supply, whether or not the iMac is covered by warranty or an extended service
agreement
If it's necessary to replace both the logic board and power supply, use both CompTIA
Codes.
European IMCs
For repairs covered under the iMac G5 REP for Video and Power Issues, IMCs in Europe
must order logic boards as stock parts using the part numbers listed above. To receive
credit for the covered logic boards ordered as stock parts, IMCs must request an RMA
number from the SPS team and return the defective parts to Apple with the RMA number.
