Old iMac gets a new life
My Problem
This computer is the default sneaking in the night after kids are in bed to watch movies or shows. When it suddenly stopped working one day I suspected the power supply had gone bad.
It is an old computer but it has a nice screen definition and we didn't want to have to buy a new one.
My Fix
I looked up iFixit guides on replacing the power supply. Lucky me it includes handy information on how to find the part number needed for the repair.
I followed the step by step video and voila! it was back to running.
My Advice
The mic plugin has some sort of tape around the connection that can be hard to unplug and re-plug. If you have an extra pair of hands to hold the bezel that would make it easier. Also a little pair of tweezers can keep the tape in place while reconnecting the mic.
