Enlightened and wise list members, I got an iMac G3 this week FREE from non-Mac friends (I think they stole it!), they just said it was broken so I thought I'd have a go at fixing it. Unfortunately I don�t know what the problem is so...
For reference I have a blueberry iMac G3 400DV, 64MB Ram (at the moment), 10GB HDD. I plug it all in and press the power button and all I get it a static noise from inside (like the noise of a monitor switching on from cold) - No Chime, no fan noise as this model is convection cooled, no lights on the front panel. I tested the Battery and it is at a full and healthy 3.6 volts, I reset the CUDA switch but to no avail. I've tried just about everything short of taking the logic board out and putting a different one in (which I cant do! No money or spare ones lying around). Someone help me please! Location: Portsmouth, United Kingdom Any help much appreciated, Phil P.S. I have 6 other Macs that I could test parts with if that helps! > -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
