Hi all, I have an iMac G5 whose AppleCare is about to expire in a few days. For several months I have noticed that the screen flickers a bit, intermittently, especially when just started or woken from sleep. If I put a Finder window on the desktop and resize it, the white space in the window flickers, as does the dark area of the (generic default) desktop background, as the window is being resized.
I talked to AppleCare and various recalibrations and tests including Hardware Test Disk and others were run, then I took it to the local Apple service provider but they said they could find nothing wrong with it. They think it's a software issue, since they said the screen did not flicker when booted from another iMac G5 which was in target disk mode running Leopard. I am dubious about that since the screen flickering issue persisted even when I had swapped in a new hard drive with a different 10.4.11 system on it. (I have Leopard, but don't want to install it on here since I need the G5 to run Classic. 10.4 was the original OS of this generation of iMac.) So my question is: is this a familiar issue to anyone? Ideas as to the cause or fix?
