Need a logic board for a 20" G5 Mac
« on: December 29, 2011, 05:58:49 PM »
Any suggestions on a place for vintage parts? Got one for 139 tested a couple for 60 untested on eBay.

Are you sure it's not the capacitors in the power supply?

eBay will be the cheap seat, but a non intel Mac is a bit long in the tooth for extensive repairs

Good call checking power supply. It was toast too. Couple hundred bucks is cheaper than a new Mac for the kid

There was a bad batch of clone capacitors that were legion when those macs were made

You might be able to bring it back from the dead by replacing the swelled ones

Couple hundred will buy a PC laptop.

Find the serial number of the mac, send it to me on FB. I will log into GSX and get part numbers on the parts. I have found that searching for old mac parts is much easier if you have the part numbers :-D

I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.
