Ok battery arrived--delay what with the ice etc and no electricity! Finally got back to the 21st century from the 18th--interesting but not for keeps--put new battery in and no joy. Lampshade still dead. No whir. No light on the monitor. No nothing. What should I try next? If there is a reset on the board I couldn't find it. (This is a 17" 800mhz iMac.) Or should I just get an enclosure for the hard drive and send the imac to the great recycling bin in the sky?
Thanks again, Ann I hope life is returning to normal in Louisville. Versailles is clawing its way back. ------- Original Message ------- >From : Robert Kersting[mailto:[email protected]] Sent : 1/26/2009 5:07:14 PM To : [email protected] Cc : Subject : RE: Re: [MacGroup] dead lampshade Take out the four screws in the bottom and you should see it when it separates.
