| 463501 | 2006-06-16 03:26:00 | Carefully, of course . :cool: "taking apart apple g5" to google . co . nz looks good . I found a strong thumbnail worked to separate the join on an IBook I took apart for a friend . We did find a full set of instructions later, with photographs, and even a few pages to printout to tape the different sorts of the 30-odd screws onto, so they could be put back in the correct places . The G% might be similar . . |

Here is a link from the Apple support pages in the DIY section.. www.info.apple.com shows you how to take the panel off to get inside. For the iMac G5 grab this one.... manuals.info.apple.com And I thought Mac users knew this!!!!! :D I have learnt to love support sites, they have more then I could credit them for. |

| 463503 | 2006-06-16 05:18:00 | One of the Australian computer magazines dismantled an Apple for an article recently. They got an expert to do it, but took one picture showing one of their bods pretending to use a crowbar. ;) (Dismantling the iBook was "interesting". I got it back together with no leftover bits or screws, too. ) |

I've only ever opened a G5 desktop, laptop's have always been under warranty and sent off to the depths of the support dungeons. :D |

Metla, we can kill two birds with one stone if we destroy all the macs by dropping them on the mac users! no users mean no macs and no macs mean no users :thumbs: sorry guys, i've had bad expreriences with macs :illogical i managed to get the side off, it was suprisingly easy. i'm sure if i knew more about macs i wouldnt hate them so much, its just growing up with windows and microsoft and amd and intel, its just like being fed normal food all ur life and someone says hey try these insects they're a delicacy! ew no way |
