Default emac logic board failure

For those of you who own an emac or know someone who does, this is important. There is an epidemic of logic boards failing on a swath of these machines (mostly purchased around the summer of 2004). For those experiencing random system freezes, usually video related, contact apple immediately. At this point they're not acknowledging it as a "known issue," so the more cases that they're aware of the better. They need to take ownership of these faulty logic boards and initiate a repair program.

To see the extent of this issue, go to apple's forum: http://discussions.apple.com/thread....01339&tstart=0

Its a typical All-In-One CRT probelm. The old G3 iMacs had the same problem. Its easy to repair and it can be done quickly depending on where you have it repaired.

like, somepeople think they are "logic board" brand motherboards. it would be better if people just called them what they are - a motherboard. thats all they are. a motherboard.
