eMac Repair Extension Program 
for Video and Power Issues
The eMac Repair Extension Program (REP) for Video and Power Issues covers repairs for eMac 
(USB 2.0) computers exhibiting issues due to specific component failure. Program instructions 
and the CompTIA code for eMac REP repairs are provided in this chapter.
