Dear WAMUGgers

My friend Paul in Kalbarri needs help. He has an iMac DV SE I think, running pre OS X software. Probably 8.6 up to 9.2 - not sure.

After some interesting previous startups it now will not go past the loading chime and then shows a grey screen. Nothing more happens. Is this fatal? Is it hardware or software, do you think? What can you advise as I'd like to get it running again for him properly soon!


First things first -- will it start from a CD? Try the either the Software Install or System Install CD that came with the iMac.
