i am going to take it to the apple store next friday,just in case they actually know what they are talking about. if they quote me way to high of a price to fix it, or tell me that…
Sounds like your iMac G5 has the same problem mine has. Don't bother taking it to the apple store, they will just say your logic board is bad, and try to get you to shell out ~$500…

H3NRY, I noticed elsewhere that you've been inside the Cube speaker's amp module and (IIRC) made some mods. How do you open the little tacker non-destructively? And did you ever …
