Apple gets rid of the "DIY" repair procedure

September '04, Apple introduced with iMac G5 a new maintenance system: Do It Yourself. Thanks to this process, each final user could repair his own machine. Though many reports from our readers were very positive, it appears that several Apple Certified Resellers received Macs partially repaired, or even definitely damaged.
This must be the reason why Apple decided to stop this system with the new revision of iMac.
Except for fancoolers, it won't be possible to get parts directly from Apple. The computer must be repaired by an Agreed Apple Center.
