I got an imac G5 1.9 with video issues. I found a classified ad on Ebay for a company in the states that fixes the video. I sent it off to them and the nightmare begins. After a a few days (Canada post said it was delivered) they "finally" found it. After another week I email and phone to see the status and no answer of the phone, and no return emails.

I finally get ahold of a guy and he says Mark who, from where (here baby crying in the background) After a few more days nothing not a mention. I send an email to ebay they don't do anything because he is just a classified ad. Another week goes buy I finally get ahold of him and he is like yeah we will get to it. He finally emails back after I file a complaint with ebay saying it was fixed and he will send it out. 4 days go by so I thought I would call. Oh!! I am having problems with shipping I will get to it tomorrow. In the meantime I have paid for the repair (Paypal) and am just waiting. 2 days go by nothing saying he shipped it. 2 more days go by. I finally complain to Paypal about this transaction. The next day the guy refunds my and sends my Logic board back by UPS. That cost me $55 bucks today. I put the unit together and it's not even fixed. I am so bloody pi$$ed off. I have decided to part it out and recoup my money. The company is GPU medics in the states. They are crooked and have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

For (at least some of) the G5s, isn't the GPU soldered to the mobo?
