Mystic G4 Power Supply Recap Parts List

[Samuel_Saady]

Hi, I have a Dual 500 PowerMac G4 (Mystic) with an AcBel API-9841-291 power supply. It currently needs to be plugged in for 2-3 weeks before it turns on. I looked for a parts list so I could recap the thing but I couldnt find one anywhere.

And I insist on recapping the psu because I do use the ADC connector on the computer, and buying a new psu is $200 on ebay, which is ridiculous. Theres a rebuild service on ebay too but its $100, so someone has a list out there.

I've worked on some of these and there are multiple versions between the AGP, GE, DA and from different vendors as well. Open it up and poke around some with a meter. It should be pretty easy to find the culprit. It's usually the little ones (like 1uf 50v) that go bad first. Some of these have load resistors that run hot and can cook nearby caps over time too.
