iMac G5 - changing harddisk

I am only able to find the iMac G4 take apart for drive and hard disk, hopefully it is similar to yours! hope it helps!

1. First you must remove the "User Access Plate", simply remove the 4 screws with the phillips driver. Photo below is with User Access Plate removed. Airport (802.11b) card and USER (sodimm) RAM slot shown. (Apple's Customer Installable Parts (CIP) guides already cover installing the Airport card and RAM in the "User" slot there.)

2. Remove the marked screws with a Torx-15. Then you can (carefully !!) take off bottom housing. It's a little bit tricky because there is a connector (see photo below - it's on the right side, when you look straight ahead onto your iMac) which fits pretty solid, but when you just pull strong enough on the bottom plate it loosens (but gently, please)

2.1 Now you can replace/upgrade the "factory" Internal (full-size dimm) Memory module, if thats all, go to step 6. (FYI - iMac G4/700-800MHz use PC133 ram (typically up to 512MB modules available). The iMac G4 1GHz-1.25GHz models use DDR333 RAM, up to 1GB dimms.)
