    We had a lightening hit at a school lab and several offices about 10 years ago that took out power supplies and logic boards. It was cheaper for us to just replace the machines. The way we saved data was by taking out the hard drives and putting them into an external enclosure and retriving data that way. So if you have another machine that you can use all you need is the external and that will be your cheapest way to go.

    that would be:



    -illegal

    -dangerous



    i would just put a new harddrive in the g5 and put the original harddrive in a external case - then send in for repair.



    you got your data + a hardrive for future backups
