Special Case List
eMac
Certain ranges of eMacs were manufactured with faulty capacitors, leading to very common instances of hardware failure. Check the eMac's serial number (located inside the optical drive bay door). If an eMac's serial number falls within the following ranges, it means it has bad capacitors and should be recycled regardless of working state:
- G8412xxxxxx - G8520xxxxxx
- YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
- VM414xxxxxx - VM518xxxxxx
iMac G5 (no ALS or iSight)
As with eMacs, certain ranges of the first-generation iMac G5s (specifically 17" and 20" models with 1.6 GHz and 1.8 GHz processors) were manufactured with faulty capacitors. Check under the iMac G5's "foot" for the serial number. If an iMac's serial number falls within the following ranges, it means it has bad capacitors and should be set aside for repair:
- W8435xxxxxx - W8522xxxxxx
- QP435xxxxxx - QP522xxxxxx
- CK435xxxxxx - CK522xxxxxx
- YD435xxxxxx - YD522xxxxxx
