Hi Folks, I'm the same guy that wrote last week about my beloved Rev A iMac dieing. Well, I have good news. I'm typing this message on my old iMac now! It seems like the power-on problem I had last week is intermittent. The guy at the repair shop said it turned on sometimes when he tried it and not other times. I got it back from the shop over the weekend, and it worked when I plugged it back in at home. So one easy solution is to leave it on, which is what we're doing now. So for now, we're back to normal. But I took this as a sign that I should be better about backing up my data, so I'm doing that too.
This is a great list! I really appreciate all the good ideas and advice you wrote in response to my questions. Ilene, thanks for mentioning the battery. I had not thought of that as a possible root cause. I will replace the battery and reset the cuda this weekend. If that solves the problem, I'd be thrilled. It was also fun to read the different thoughts you all had on which path to take for replacing my iMac. Fortunately, it looks like I might be able to put that off a bit longer. Since my wife wanted me to take the cheapest solution path, she is very happy with this! But I have to admit that I'd started to salivate a little when thinking about a possible iMac FP to replace this one. Anyway, thanks again for the great replies.
