rn. So the logic board was
literally toast. But when I replaced the logic board, the iMac still
refused to start. Dead, dead, dead.
Since I knew the hard drive, CDRW, PRAM battery and everything but the
PAV was OK, I replaced the PAV and, voila!, the iMac sprang to life.
By the way, there wer

the extra power demand of the optical drive is more than the PAV can
handle, and everything shuts down. I've not ever seen a hard drive do
what you suggest. But I've seen power demands by peripherals cause an

Well, let's see. Google "smurf" and the first hit you'll get says
Smurfs were small blue people, and the images of them
on, but it works just fine. So the
biggest problems you are going to have are a) getting the old drive
out and b) swapping faceplates. The latter is the most critical
because of the need to use the manual eject button.
Good luck!

All CD/DVD/CDRW drives in all G3 slotload iMacs (350-700 MHz) are

If all else fails, you can remove the optical drive and remove the top to gain
