#562576 - 08/07/11 12:40 PM Remove HD from dead iMac?
Acumowchek Blink Registered: 12/29/07 Posts: 1808 Loc: Petaluma, CA	I want to recycle a dead iMac G5. My guess is the power supply is dead, because the cord id burnt on both ends. It was my Mother's machine, and I want to recycle it, but don't want to leave the Hard Drive. Any help is appreciated.

MacGizmo What? Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 18793 Loc: Arizona	that's what I would do. If it's dead and you're going to toss it in the trash - have some fun destroying it! Be sure to video the whole process if you do.

The last time I expressed myself was with a 1992 tube TV. It was glorious. This may be the time. I'll post the film when I decide.
