Is replacing power supply more than plug and play?

From all input I gather although my G5 is not the right serial for a free fix I probably have a power supply problem. Unless the inability to power on could be something else, I'm going to give you guys a little time to keep me from wasting some money. It's $100 to have my mac looked at here in Houston as far as I know and they wanted $150 to take a stuck CD out of it which gave me the courage to open her for the first time and it would seem to me I could install another power supply, but would like some feedback about pitfalls. T

I recently had a iMac power supply replaced under warranty. It is, apparently, a routine repair, and I had mine back in two days (including mail).
Power supply issues are easy to diagnose.
PRAM battery is the place to start, as it's the less radical solution.
Consider the power supply, a not-uncommon problem with vintage Macs. There's an easy way to find out. Make sure it's a time you're going to be able to monitor the machine.
1. Turn on the eMac. Go to System Preferences/Battery Saver, and turn these settings all the way to the right, to "Never."
2. Note the time, and leave your machine on until it shuts off. Note the time again.
3. Continue turning it on and noting the time. If the amount of time the eMac stays on gets shorter and shorter, then you have a power supply issue. This is more common for older machines.
Stuck CD is another issue; that can be any number of things, including a fried logic board. If you've attempted all the tricks, an expert may be your main recourse.

Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
Yes.
Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
Reseat is also good.
The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
Never an issue.
Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
Want cheaper, try this:

The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.

Where can I buy a replacement power supply?

Where can I buy a replacement power supply for my time capsule?

Apple do not sell parts for the TC..
And do not allow their OEM to sell parts.
So you need to bypass Apple and create your own.
Or fix the existing one.

How to Replace Power Supply

I'm stuck with what I thought was going to be an easy job - compared to a G5 tower or an iMac.
I need to replace the power supply in my Mac Pro (2008) but I'm stuck at getting the small cover off. I've removed the metal plate that was under the optical drives (POV when looking through the side). But it seems there's a small cover for the power supply that's similar to the big processor cover for the liquid cooled G5 towers. I can't figure out how to remove that.
Does anyone have a link to a manual or take-apart guide for the Mac Pro?
Thanks!

Before you begin, open the computer, lay it on its side with the access side facing up, and remove
the following:
• Hard drives and hard drive carriers in drive bays 3 and 4
• Optical drive carrier and optical drives
• Any PCI Express cards that block access to the power supply mounting screws
1. Using a short-handled, magnetized 2.5 mm hex screwdriver, remove the four power supply
mounting screws from the bottom of the media shelf.
2. Depress the upper right corner of the power supply and slide the power supply toward the
front of the computer.
3. Lift the power supply a short distance and rest it on the edge of the enclosure.
4. Starting with the top connector and working down, disconnect the four connectors on the
power supply cable from the four connectors on the power harness cable. Note: You must release the locking latch on each power supply cable connector before detaching the connector.
5. Remove the power supply from the enclosure.
Replacing the Power Supply:
1. Rest the power supply on the edge of the enclosure so that its cable can reach the media
shelf divider. Note: The following four steps explain how to reconnect the power supply cable connectors with the power harness connectors. When the power harness connectors are in their original position in the media shelf divider, it is not possible to see where they mate with the power
supply cable connectors. Therefore, the next step shows how to temporarily remove the power harness connectors from the divider for a better line of sight.
2. Starting with the top connector and working down, release the four power harness cable
connectors from their openings in the media shelf divider. Note: Each connector has two locking latches that hold it to the divider. To release the connector, depress the bottom latch first and then the top latch. You may find a flat-blade screwdriver useful in depressing the latches.
3. Placing a hand on either side of the media shelf divider, thread the J1 connector on the power supply cable through the top connector opening in the media shelf divider and connect it to the PS1 connector on the power harness. Repeat for the other three power supply cable connectors.
4. Important: The first three connectors on the power supply cable are marked J1, J2, and J3; the fourth connector is not marked. The four connectors on the power harness cable are marked PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4. You must connect J1 to PS1, J2 to PS2, etc.
5. Starting at the bottom connector and working up, depress the locking latches on each power harness connector and reinsert it into its opening in the media shelf divider. Important: Test that all power supply cable connectors and power harness connectors are fully seated by tugging on the cables on both sides of each of the four paired connectors.
6. Fold the power supply cable on the bottom of the power supply bay.
7.Lift the power supply and holding the power supply at an angle, llower it into the enclosure until its
upper right corner slides under the corner lip of the enclosure.
8. Slide the power supply toward the back of the computer as far as possible.
9. Make sure the power receptacle aligns with the opening in the enclosure’s back panel and
the four screw holes in the power supply align with the screw holes in the media shelf.
10. Replace the four power supply mounting screws.

Replaced power supply same problem

took my imac g5 to apple store where genius told me it needed a new power supply because machine would not turn on and when it did just to gray apple screen Even though the serial number was in the range for extended repair program, i was told mine was to old and did not fall under any repair program. I replaced power supply same issue of gray/white apple screen and fan kicks on loud. reset pram, reset smu, checked diagnostic led lights 1,2,3 all light as they should. Cannot start up with discs either. Anyone with any ideas it would be much appreciated.

What a bummer! If you can get hold of the reseller, go after him for legal discs, if you can't get him, call Apple at 800-767-2775 and they will send you an appropriate set for a nominal fee.

I would venture to say that your 3pin female adapter should be plugged into a 3pin male adapter on your motherboard. This allows your system to control fan speed on the power supply. I hope this helps you.

Need step by step directions to install a replacement Power Supply for a HP Color LaserJet 1215

I have a HP Color LaserJet 1215 printer that is only a couple of years old. Had a power problem at home that burnt out the power supplies of two HP Towers, a DSL Modem, and (I think) the power supply of my printer. I have located a replacement power supply but would sure appreciate any one that would know how to replace. I need a step by step guide aas to how to perform such a task.
It would also help to have a diagram of the printer showing precisely how to get to the power supply.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. I have spent days looking for this information and can't seem to find any.

Method called more than once - and dies with EXC_BAD_ACCESS error

Hi,
In my app, I have 4 views with their respective viewControllers. In the appDelegate.m, I provide methods that allows to switch to any of these views. Following is code for switching to the editView:
-(void) flipToEditView {
[self populateTheList]; // populate an array
EditViewController *anEditVC = [[EditViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"EditView" bundle:nil];
[self setEditVC:anEditVC];
[viewController.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.window addSubview:[editVC view]];
[anEditVC release]; }
The view is not switched - and moreover, this method is called more than once; and the app dies with EXCBADACCESS!

I don't see anywhere on Dell's website to purchase this.

So far there is no replacement/upgrade PSU for Dell Optiplex 9020 MT from Dell.
Will a dedicated power supply work for playing games? i bought this system as used (excellent condition) just for Gaming Purpose (GTA V), now i am stuck with the PSU issue. I can alter the case to fit the big size GPUs, but the issue is of PSU.
Will ePower EP-450CD can help me in any way.

I would like to know if you go into free downloads why cannt you dowloads more than 10 and then you have to pay for them

I would like to know if the download that are free why cann't you download more than 10 and then you have to pay for them

If it's free, then it's free no matter how many you download. iTunes might take some time if you download more than three. I have more than 400 apps and a 50 of them are free and I don't have problem.
Are you sure it was free?

Hi!
Make sure that you follow the steps you can find in this article: [[Where can I find my Firefox Sync Key?]]
Your sync key should have the following format: x-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Avoid spaces or any additional character. Finally, make sure that in your work computer you are using the same username and passwords as the one at home, just to make sure that the Sync key corresponds to this account.

Replacement power supply for Airport N base station?

I'm in need of a replacement power supply for an Airport Extreme N base station.
Is this something I can pick up at a friendly neighborhood Radio Shack, or do I need to order the OEM part from Apple?
I don't need the automatic international voltage switching, just something that can power this puppy with US AC. Thanks.

Tom welcome to the discussions.
I would probably call the Apple number.
1-800-MY APPLE
I am sure that they can point you in the right direction.
I am a little shocked that one of the Apple Retail stores can't offer you a Power Supply.
If all else fails, it sounds like you have tried an alternitve, if it works use it, until you can get a replacment.
