Check your computer if you have a liquid cooled G5

Question

Hello
Please excuse this thread as not possibly being in the right category
I am trying to reach as much of the Mac community and alerting them to a defect in the liquid cooled G5. Below is my communication sent to Apple?

My Post to Apple:
Apple should have notified me of the leaking cooling system problem. I could have taken it to them for a check before the Apple care expired.
Checking the sites I have found that this has been a reoccurring problem with the G5 liquid cooled system.
I have bought the Apple care on both my g5 ppc and my G5 imac. My imac warranty is still in effect.
I was told by the store that there is and has been no recall on the liquid cooling system and they can’t give any credit on the repair unless Apple care authorizes the credit.
With all the problems regarding the liquid cooled system, Apple should accept some of or all the responsibility of the this defect.
I have recently purchased leopard and installed leopard along with the purchase of iLife and iWork. I have spent considerable amount of money with the purchase of this machine. 2 23” cinema displays, airport, Ram pci cards and software Cs CS2 and plug-ins for Photoshop.
This computer has less than two years of operating time as it’s in my home in Arizona. I am only in this house during the winters.
Bottom line apple should have notified me of this defect so I could have had it checked at the store before the warranty expired. Apple should accept this defect as there responsibility and correct with no charge
Thank you for any considerations
My post on the apple discussion board:
Just took my g5 liquid cooled computer into apple because it is leaking and dripped onto my power supply. I am looking at a little under a thousand dollars for repair. This was my first Mac that I bought in November of 2004. Its out of warranty but has only been used 6 months out a year as it is located in my home in AZ which I am only there for the winters. (Less than 2 years of actual use) They told me at the apple store there is no recall and I would have to call the apple care people to try and get some help on the cost.
I am upset with this problem and had read that after about three years they start to leak. I thought I was in good shape until this morning.
They told me that the power supply could be bad also. They will order the parts and call me when it’s done.
I do feel apple should have some responsibility with this leaking and I will try to talk to them on Monday.
I should have taken the computer in just before the warranty was up had it checked.
I will post back when I have some answers

Answer 1

I just talked to applecare today and they are replacing my g5 with a Mac pro 2.8. They are matching all my upgrades that I had on my g5 that I bought from them. I can't commend them enough, what a great company to deal with. They recognize they had a problem and doing their customers right.
