iMac G5 Logic Board Failures

The world of computers is one of ever increasing performance, and ever declining prices, new processors, more ram, more storage, bigger monitors, more pixels. The computer industry feeds into this frantic marketing pace by advertising the new hardware that is a "must have" to run next-generation software. Amid this dizzying barrage of better and better products, a disturbing trend has emerged: hardware that is not durable. Consumers are naturally alarmed when becomes unreasonable to expect a computer to operate properly for more than two years. "Obsolescence" is one aspect of computer ownership that can be expected, but outright failure is entirely different. Apple's iMac G5 computers, the last generation of iMacs that did not use Intel processors, suffer from a design flaw where the logic board, or power supply, or both, stop working just after the computer has gone out of the warranty period. The iMac G5's frequently display a black screen when powered on, or fail in the middle of working. These outright failures are expensive to remedy because the price of replacement logic boards (motherboards) is several hundred dollars, plus the loss of productivity from not being able to use the computer while it's being fixed.
