Apple Posted eMac Extended Repair Program for Video and Power Issues

Apple posted the details of an extended repair program for certain eMacs with certain video and power problems. The affected systems will exhibit one of the following video- or power-related symptoms:

  • Scrambled or distorted video
  • No video
  • No power

The program is available for eMac models that were sold between approximately April 2004 and June 2005 featuring 1GHz and 1.25GHz G4 processors and that have serial numbers where the first 5 digits fall into these ranges:

  • G8412xxxxxx - G8520xxxxxx
  • YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
  • VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx

If Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) world wide determines that your eMac computer is eligible as part of the program, the repair will be covered by Apple for up to three years from the original date of purchase even if your eMac is out of warranty. Additional details of the eMac extended repair program are available from this Apple Web page. [Bill Fox]
