Finally, while you've got access to your logic board (you've already
removed the perforated EMI shield to find and get to the cuda
button), check the voltage of the PRAM battery. It should be 3.6
volts or slightly higher. If it's not, put in a new battery and
forget about it for another 5 years or so. A dying PRAM battery can
cause "kinda flaky" behavior.

I put a new battery two years ago, maybe less; in the now dead iMac,
thinking that it would cure the "flaky behavior", but no, it just
kept the correct time.
I'll check if it is still in a good condition and transplant it to
the "new" 450 MHz iMac.
Thanks again!
