I hope someone can help me with these:
1) My iMac 233Mhz has just died. Power just went as though the plug was pulled, no startup or any sign of life. Lead and power are fine but nothing getting through. Any ideas on what this might be and does anyone know of a good reliable Apple repairer in NW London or thereabouts? Kind of sounds like a power supply issue but not really sure.
Probably is, and if so, not economic to repair.
2) I've been thinking of replacing the above with a newer iMac, though funds are somewhat limited. Does anyone know if you can replace the combi drive in the iMac with a superdrive type drive (i.e. DVD-R/CR-RW)? I would have thought it should not be a problem as it is now a standard internal drive, but a Mac rep at John Lewis said not possible. Is Apple really still crippling the upgrade options in its machines (not question 4, just a comment).
Have you thoought of an eMac - better bang/buck ratio than iMac, and ISTR people definitely putting SuperDrives in them.
