iMac G3 take apart - shortcut
Posted by: Alex on 2017-10-01 03:04:17
Hi

I am posting this for anyone who might want to take apart an iMac G3 but care to remove the CRT along with both the analog board and video board attached. It might be missed if you just dive in.

As per Page 114.

Thanks for the tip!

I wish there were an easier way to remove the transparent CRT cover though...

Hi BadGoldEagle

I found it a challenge with the Snow White iMac G3 but it was fairly easy on the iMac G3 333 but I am not sure why this is the case.

I used a black stick to help with the tabs for the iMac G3 333 for sure but with the Snow I can't remember but yes, it feels like the case will crack or break but it's extraordinarily tough.
