Glad I could help out.
BTW, I thought the same thing with my 2nd gen iMac G5 and they replaced it as despite it not being in the "approved" serial number range. I did my homework on the issue and they saw that.
See if you can find a way to check for the capacitors. Mention to them that you suspect that being the issue. Search Google for "iMac G5 capacitor" and find anything you can regarding the issue, especally on the 20". Regardless of whether you bought it or not from Apple, it's covered. If it was working for you when you bought it and now it's not, then they have to at least look at it. I bought mine two years ago and then this happened. Seems as though it happened to you about the same time as it did to me with my 2nd-gen 17". Even the iSight iMAc G5s were affected with the capacitor issue. Do a search on
Macintouch for the iMac G5 20" and you'll see a section about failures with even the iSight models. Do whatever you can to have them fix the problem because more than likely it's the capacitor issue, and they are at fault for that, not you.
