Can anyone help, someone has just come to me with the following problem, I
don't think I can help, but can you?
> Dear Gary, Thanks for offering to try and help out here.
>
> I have an iMac - don't quite remember which model off hand, but it's the
> 2nd series, following the blueberry original, 0S 8.5.1, 32mb
>
> Basically what happened was that while I was using it it made a few
> crackling-type noises and went dead on me. It didn't freeze, but simply
> switched off, as if someone had pulled the plug. Leaving it alone for half
> an hour or so and it starts to boot up, before, after about 10 seconds, the
> same crackling noises are heard and it powers down again. This has
> happened several times, and I've now decided to leave it alone.
>
> Technicians here suggest that it might be the power pack, maybe a dry
> connection or something, but I know no more than that. They haven't
> attempted to take it apart or anything.
>
> If you could come up with anyone who can help or advise, I'd be really
> grateful - its got some pretty important work on there which I need access
> to fairly soon - assuming it hasn't suffered any damage to the HD.
>
> Many thanks
>
> Chris
