G4 IMac With Hidden MagSafe Charger




I turned my old iMac into an external monitor with hidden MagSafe charger for my phone
Supplies
- G4 iMac
- 22" light weight monitor
- 3D printer
- HDMI cable, 2 pin powerr cable
- Arduino nano, H-bridge motor controller, wires
- Lego parts



I completely disassembled the iMAC.

Next, i 3d printed this VESA adapter for the iMac's arm.

I installed the adapter and attached the new 22" light weight monitor



Removed the original cables from the arm, and replaced them with a HDMI and a power cable.
Lated added white sticker to the lower bezel.
With this step, the monitor section was finished.



I designed and 3d printed a slider mechanism that will house the MagSafe charger. This will replace the old CD drive.



Added a lego motr and some lego gears to reduce the motor's rotational speed.




I assembled the electonic (arduino nano, h-bridge morot controller, button, power supply), then i uploaded the code to the arduino.




Project was finished
