iMac G5, 17-inch Take Apart Power Supply
Important Things to Know Note:
These instructions cover the iMac G5 (17-inch) models. The models may look
slightly different from one shown in the illustration; however, the following
procedure applies to both models.
1. The replacement power supply has an ambient light sensor attached with two plastic
rivets. If your computer doesn’t have an ambient light sensor (see next step), remove
the ambient light sensor from the replacement power supply.
2. How do you tell if you have an iMac G5 with the ambient light sensor? Look at the
picture below. Along the bottom of the display bezel, next to the middle case screw is
a small bump protruding from the case. This is the ambient light sensor.
3. All customer removable screws are brass colored
.
Do not remove screws unless
they are brass colored, or you will void your warranty.
4. Ground yourself when working on the computer. The procedure will show you how to
ground yourself.
5. Do not pull on individual wires when disconnecting a part; pull on the connector.
6. A magnetized “L”-shaped Phillips screwdriver is included with the replacement part.
