2007 iMac Power woes

問題

My iMac started acting funky. At first it just did not want to start up after a power failure. Sometimes it would just sit there and a few hours later power on. Strange very strange. Finally, it simply refused to power up. No chimes, no fan noise, no nothing. Just a door stop. What could it be? I was guessing power supply.

修理

It was much easier than I feared. The step by step directions in iFix it were 99% correct. Only difference was the LCD had more wires coming off of it than the one on the iFix it page I reviewed. No problems though. Everything went back together like a dream. It started right up and has been chugging along without a hitch.

アドバイス

Have a helper hold the LCD when you tip it away from the body. It is difficult to disconnect and reconnect the wires and hold the screen yourself. Also don't forget to clean the glass and LCD before you put it back together. It was really gross inside. Amazed at how much dirt had gotten in there over the years.
