Whenever I've seen this, or had it reported, it's been a sign that the analog board is on its way out. Its flyback transformer is starting to break down. Eventually when it finally fails it will power on, then just as the power light should go green it will shut down. It could happen in weeks or months. BTW, the PAV board and down converter are only used on slot loading iMacs, not your tray loader. Steve Bell -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
