iMac G5 20" Model A1076 Bluetooth board Replacement

Step 1 Rear Panel

• Lay the iMac display-side down on a flat surface (putting a cloth under the screen to protect it from bumps).
• Loosen the three Phillips screws securing the rear panel to the iMac.
• These screws are captive in the iMac. The center screw will stop turning after about 3.5 turns and the outer screws will stop turning after about 5.5 turns. Do not try to remove these screws from your iMac.
