I was just going to leave a few comments about the power supply for a 520c.I had obtained the computer but had no adapter and I sprung for a working adapter on ebay for 30 bucks (more than the computer cost). When I plugged it in there was an instant pop, I checked the output and the voltage was...

I guess this is a 750 or 1000 watt supply....these are the only two connectors....on P2 pins 6 and 7 are green...I jumped them to black (only one at a time, not both at the same time) and nothing happened

I spent the morning taking apart a 2.3 ghz DC G5 power mac this morning. It made no noises or lights what so ever  and the power supply made no click when plugged into the wall. After searching online, I thought I could at least check the fuse. I can see one end of it with the other covered in...

"encased aluminum electrolytics"...that must be what I'm seeing...if you look at the non soldered end you can see the capacitor and this explains why the pad areas are so corroded on some of them. I used the capacitors from another screen that was damaged. Again...the LCD is right there and, not...

The posts I found were actually in regards to capacitors on the non-duo capacitors and they are not tantalums. Because the back light was broken, but the LCD worked, I theorized the screen had been dropped. When I tapped on the capacitors (as you have pictured) two did indeed move (and the pads...

Sorry...I didn't look back far enough before posting. Will replace caps on LCD.(searching screen and account options..do not see an option to delete post either.. again I apologize)

I have changed out a backlight from a bad LCD to a good looking LCD. It looks good for about 30-45 seconds...then flicker to stripes , then eventually to grey (no mouse). I am 90% sure it is on the LCD panel itself as the prior LCD panel worked fine..it just had a big red spot in the middle.Are...

Nice...not sure how gentle...I'd say very, very firm sustained traction with a third hand to pop out the board. Thank you very much for the quick responses. Now have to find the time to recap...I did not appreciate leaking from the battery or capacitors.

Great. Thank you...I will try the gentle prying of the steel frame and post results.

This is my first post on the forum and despite searching here and elsewhere, I have not been able to locate anyone with this issue. I like to think it is because I have a rare machine here, but the answer maybe obvious.  Regardless of  outcome, I just do not like the thought of an unusual find...
