The iMac G5 is an all-in-one personal computer that was designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from August 2004 to March 2006. It is the final iMac to use a PowerPC processor, making it the last model that could natively run Mac OS 9 (Classic) applications. It was replaced in January 2006 by the Intel-based iMac, which retained the features, price, and case design of the iMac G5.

Can you open up the iMac and check for leaky or bulged capacitors, especially in the power supply? I have attached a picture for reference.
