Sometimes You Have To Be A Tech

Aside from being a musician and music educator, I’m also a recording engineer.

While editing some vocals, the computer I was working on (a Macintosh G5 Dual Processor 2.0 GHZ  Late 2005 Model) had decided to shut down on its own.

After checking online to see why this would happen, I concluded that the G5′s power supply had suddenly died.

In trying to find out how to remove the fried power supply, I soon discovered that the information on my particular Mac G5 was not very accessible.

I found a YouTube video of a Mac G5 power supply replacement procedure, but that Macintosh G5 was very different from the one I was on.

So as a service to those who have the late model 2005 Mac G5, I had myself video recorded as I installed the new power supply.  The video is in 2 parts.

Everything worked out and the computer fired up.

If the computer didn’t turn on, I wouldn’t be doing this blog post.
