Again...no offense meant, but iMac's don't have deflection boards, and the "green light of death" or GLOD refers to a defect in the 2400c laptop and has nothing to do with iMacs. The orange light problem in later model iMac's is a 5 minute fix that involves a very simple modification of the Power Actuation button. -- Kyle H.
