Hi All, In case you didn't know: Apple announced an iMac G5 Repair Extension Program to address defects found in certain 17- and 20-inch iMac G5s. The affected iMacs exhibit power and video problems "as a result of a specific component failure."
[Note: Although the Repair Extension Program web page calls the affected iMacs "first generation," two readers have alerted us that their "second generation" iMac G5s also fall within the serial number ranges specified by Apple for this program.
