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
