Restore normal fan operation on an iMac G5
Authored by: jeffulri on Mar 08, '06 11:10:07AM

If the unplugging hint doesn't work for you, try opening up your machine and resetting the two hardware switches on the motherboard. That was the only thing that worked for me. Leaving the machine unplugged between 5 and 60 minutes did not fix the ramped up fan problem for me, but pressing the two hardware switches on the motherboard for 10 seconds each did.

For my model of iMac G5, resetting was done by inserting the powercord while pressing the powerbutton.
