    • To avoid electrocution, shut down the computer. Do not open the computer or attempt to install any items inside it while the computer is on.

    • To avoid being burned, wait at least 10 minutes to allow the computer's internal components to cool.

    • Remove all the cables, including the power cables before opening the unit.

    • Lift the tab to unlock the side panel.

    • The panel should fall out. If the panel does not fall out by itself pull a little from the edges.

    • Remove the G5 metal cover from the processing/cooling unit of the computer. NOTE: Apple inserted a rather fragile plastic pin that inserts through the top divider shield and clips into a tab on the hidden ledge of this CPU shield. Removing this pin, certainly voided Mac's warranty - but more appropriate for now, voids most after-market insurance plans. A replacement pin (new) is hard to get ahold of, and very few are talented and patient enough to remove this pin without damaging it. Just something to keep in mind. If you have no warranty any longer or don't care, please continue...

    • Pull the metal plate to the left and outward to remove the plate from the processing/cooling unit.

If there is a video card in place, carefully pull the cable plug down between the back edge of the video card and the motherboard. Note, the photo shows the unplugged cable and the area it plugs into outlined in yellow. No video card is shown in this photo.

    • Unscrew 8 T10 screws from the cooling unit. NOTE: these screws are acctually allen keys. The prefered tool will be long handled allen keys. t10 are 2.74mm (closest allen key is 2.5 or 3mm) and t15 are 3.27mm(closest allen key is 3mm and 4mm). You may strip your tool or the actual screws themselves. Use a set of high quality long handled allen keys.

    • The screws are somewhat hidden, so they cannot be see in the picture.

    • To visualize the location of the screws look 3 steps ahead.

    • The screws will loosen but will not come out, they are designed to loosen the unit, but remain in place.

    • The last two images show another version of the LCS (out of the computer) in the G5 with off-center views to show the 8 screw holes.

  16. Power Mac G5 Power Supply Replacement: шаг 16, изображение 1 из 1
    • Pull the cooling/processing unit straight up to prevent damage to logic board

    • This will require some effort and should be done with caution to avoid damage.

    • The sleeves around the 6 screws may hold it in, if so just take a pair of needle nose pliers and gently squeeze the sleeves until it releases.

    • Pull the bottom, then side towards the bottom of the CPU case, first to move around the bottom coolant sleeve around the heat sinking bracket. *heat sinking bracket not in picture*

    • Disconnect the cable.

  18. Power Mac G5 Power Supply Replacement: шаг 18, изображение 1 из 1
    • NOTE: Here are the standoffs without the cooling unit installed to make it easier to understand where the screws are located. Remove the bottom 2 standoffs so it is easier to remove the power supply.

    • Check the pin connections for any damage. All the pins highlighted in yellow should appear straight up and not appear bent. DON'T TOUCH THE PINS. A bent pin will result in your computer not powering on.

Step #16 is kinda confusing on the last paragraph. Can anyone clarify.? Thanks.

I followed this guide to replace the PSU in my 2x2.0 PCI G5 - it now works great. I'd like to add that my machine didn't boot right away, I needed to reset the SMU on the main Logic board several times and I also re-seated the RAM chips which seemed to cajole the old beast back into life. I replaced a 450W PSU with a 600W and all seems well so far. Many thanks to the team for posting this ifixit guide.

these Apple support notes are worth a look if you run into problems restarting a machine:

Finally - I would also like to add that this guide shows the CPU unit of what I think is one of the crazy liquid-cooled G5s that made a brief appearance in the Powermac range. The same steps still apply for the more common air-cooled models. The only difference being that my machine's CPU units were secured on their mountings with Allen-key type screws - not Torx screws. Doing this repair was not as difficult as you might think, I managed fine and I'm not a tech specialist.
