After seeing some nasty caps on a beige G3 Power Mac, I decided to open up my beautiful iMac G4 and check the caps. A quick visual inspection looked good, but you know what can lurk beneath. I removed a few of the SMDs and sure enough... While there wasn't any liquid on the board, there were beige crusties under the caps. So it's off to DigiKey to order a full set of caps for replacement. Suppose the power supply probably should get a recap too -- but will have to tear this thing down further to get at it. Others recapping their G4 iMacs as well? Just curious. If so, what are ya'll doing about the display? I've never opened one but I'm sure there are SMDs in the display?
