I ran a iMac G5 for 6 years without vacuuming the cooling vent ports. It is apparently fried from overheating. How do I remove the HD so that I can transfer info to new mac.
The steps to remove the hdd from the g5 are depending on the exact model if it’s an A1076 (or easier - no isight camera), use this guide and if its an A1145 (with isight camera), use this guide
