Empowered!

Mein Problem

Fried i-Mac due to massive power surge spike; indication suggested power supply shot.

Meine Reparatur

Initially thought PC gone to IT heaven with all my data as had my back up hard drive due to the same event.

Googled and found iFixit YouTube video of pretty geeky bespectacled blonde lady video showing step by step dismantling of the same model iMac. It looked easy enough. Ordered parts and tools from iFixit which arrived exactly one week from US to remote outback Australia.

Mein Rat

Excited but with trepidation proceeded to emulate video sequence and 20 minutes later ready & hit power button and.....nothing black screen!

Dismayed made a coffee then came back to the machine ready to strip it down again then noticed oopsy power cord not connected! Connected and and switched on voila it worked perfectly.

A big thank you iFixit and geeky blonde lady :)
