5. Remove the power supply. Turn over the power supply to view the label. Affected
power supplies have:
• an Apple part number of 614-0293 or 614-0296 (shown below)
• an AC Input of 100-127V, 50-60Hz (listed below the part number)
Note:
A power supply failure may leave a visible residue on the rear cover, logic board,
and the chassis. The residue does not affect the operation of the iMac G5 and can be left
in place. If desired, the residue on the rear cover can usually be removed using a lightly
dampened disposable cloth. Be sure to thoroughly dry the rear cover before reinstalling it.
6. Replace the power supply if it meets the criteria mentioned above. Refer to the next
topic in this section, Special CompTIA Codes, for repair coverage information.
Note:
Effective today, these power supply replacements will be excluded from
Service Excellence measurement (in applicable regions). In addition, all first-
generation iMac G5 power supplies are no longer available as Do-It-Yourself (DIY)
parts.
Warning:
Use caution when handling failed electronic components, and be sure to
wash your hands afterwards.
