2 - iMac G5 (20-inch) Take Apart General Information
Important Things to Know
1. All customer removable screws are brass colored (except for some fan screws
on earlier units which use torx screws). Do not remove screws unless they are
brass colored, or you will void your warranty.
2. Important: Ground yourself when working on the computer. The procedure will show
you how to ground yourself.
3. Important: Memory DIMM connector latches are fragile and need to be handled
carefully when removing the inverter and logic board. Also note that packing the logic
board in the proper service packing is very important.
4. A magnetized “L”-shaped Phillips screwdriver is included with the replacement part.
There are additional items that are included with the midplane and the back cover
assembly. Those items are listed below.
5. Back Cover
• Two blank labels are included with the replacement back cover. Copy the serial
number and Ethernet number off the bottom of the computer’s foot and attach the
new labels to the bottom of the replacement foot. The back cover take apart
procedure will show you where to attach the labels.
