[Ham-Mac] iMac crash

[larry jenkins]

Just got my imac g5 back from an apple service provider and they  
replaced the power supply. (didn't say anything about bulging  
capacitors) and the service was free under apples extended recall  
program for the imac shutting off randomly.  It had finally got totthe  
place where it would not turn on at all.

Seems to be working OK.  but this is just the first day back in  
operation
