iMac Power Supply and Disassembling the Computer 2

[Genimuse]

I have an early iMac (original Bondi blue, rev b). It appears from its symptoms that the power supply has gone out. This is the second iMac this has happened to, and last time I bought a used but working power supply for it on ebay.

Unfortunately I really screwed up taking the first one apart, breaking off a couple of the plastic tabs that hold it together, etc. Eventually I gave up on the project.

This time, though, I want to do it right. Do any of you know of a good description/diagram for taking the iMac apart (including removing the motherboard) and putting it back together again correctly? Either a website or a decent book? The only references I've found are about adding RAM but I need to take it apart further than that to get to the power supply.

Thanks in advance.

This doesn't go as as far as replacing the power supply but it might help because it has good instructions and pictures.

Try here. The Apple Service Manual may help ;-)

Remembering to paste the link would help too!

Fantastic, thanks very much to both of you! I had nearly given up hope, as hours and hours of Google searches failed to turn either of those up for some reason (and I'm pretty darned good at Google).

Thanks again!
