Diagnostic LEDs

The iMac G5 has built-in diagnostic LEDs (shown below) on the main logic board that can

help you to troubleshoot the computer.

To access these LEDs, remove the back cover of the computer:

1.

Turn your computer off (choose Shut Down from the Apple menu). If you can't shut it

down that way, you can turn the computer off by pressing the power button for five

seconds.

2.

After the computer is off, disconnect all cables and the power cord from your

computer.
