Service manual for iMac rev c

[howesey]

Hi all, anyone have the service manual for the iMac rev c?

I'd like to know how it works without having to take my iMac apart.

This may help...

Wasn't there a manual in the box?

Wasn't there a manual in the box?

I think he/she means a manual that tells one how to do repairs or service or modifications to the iMac. Like how to remove the hard drive or how to change the optical drive, etc. As opposed to a user guide that tells you how to use the Mac.

Good point.



That link is for the original iMac G5 but many aspects are still relevant.

Does iMac G5 Ambient Light Sensor == Rev B? (512MB base RAM, 128MB VRAM, no iSight)

That's right. The Rev A and Rev B (linked DIY page) were almost identical inside however the Rev C is still quite similar.

Rev B is nothing like the rev c or Intel iMacs. **Bump**

That's right. The Rev A and Rev B (linked DIY page) were almost identical inside however the Rev C is still quite similar.

Except that one is opened from the back (A+B) and the other is opened from the front (C + intel) and you have to move the screen to get at the innards. Plus the latter two had a complete internal redesign.
