Hi,
Looks like my iMac died this Saturday. While I was on the screeen would flick 
on 
and off briefly and make the old style television on/off sound (bzzt). The next 
morning the power button did not start it up. I press the button, nothing. I 
just 
bought all new furniture so I am not in the market even for a mac mini. But 
getting 
back to the iMac. It was a g3 233mhz I believe a revision 2. I make it a rule 
not 
to play around inside it because of the crammed in nature of the components. I 
am 
bringing it to a trusted service place where they can place a mirror under it's 
nose and search for a pulse. I suspect it's the flyback transformer.
In the event that they administer last rites to my trusted computer, does 
anybody 
know of a reputable place where I can pick up a refurbished or used g4 iMac?
If you are using a g3 233 from around 1998 I would advise you to recognize that 
the 
clock is ticking and not to leave the unit on for long periods when it is not 
in 
use.
Matt
