bryanyz, is your iMac still under warranty? if it is, send it for repair, DO NOT attempt to repair it yourself.
you might accidentally void your warranty... |

I face the same problem with my eMac exactly like this. Actually, Mac has its own tendency to shut down itself if the heat is so unresistable. Wait for a while. For me... it doesnt take long time. Wait till the next day... its fine and OK until today. BTW, its happen almost 2 years ago.
I did some vacuming though.. and its effective. But if the problem persist even after a few days.. better check. As for me, I did sent it for repair... but after the first try switch it on at the shop... wiolaaa.... no problem....  Funny ek... but its true. I do believe its heat problem.This post has been edited by AppleMacUser: May 15 2007, 10:12 AM |

I think you should remind them to consult you before replacing anything.
