I just bought a broken 20" iMac G5 1.8GHz for $70.00 because it wont turn on. After opening it up I found three capacitors that have popped.
I then found 10 replacement 1000 micro farad 16 volt capacitors on eBay for only $0.99 with free shipping. I also noticed there is an empty location inside where an airport card should be.
I am just trying to figure out which card I need for this as I came across two different ones for "iMac G5 Airport".
One says Airport Extreme and just plugs in and the other says Airport Extreme with Bluetooth but it screws in with two screws..
I would love to have a Bluetooth in this as I know it's an option but I don't know if this model has separate Airport and Bluetooth cards or if I need the single combined card I found online.
Thanks
