Immediately upon plugging in my iMac to a surge protector (not as good as a UPS, I know), a bright spark flashed at the top and then a small smoke cloud and electronic burning smell emitted from the ventilation holes. It will no longer boot at all.

Does anyone know of a source for a replacement internal power supply for an LCD iMac? I am no longer covered under warranty and would rather not pay the $400-$500 that CompUSA wants in order to repair it.

Replacement power supplies for old iMacs are readily available, but I've yet to see one for the LCD models.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can't you contact the people who make the surge protector? Usually they guarantee your equipment.

the part cost around $60-$80 dirrectly from apple. I suggest takeing it into a service center, because sometimes more than just the PS dies. e-mail me if you want me to get one for you.
