#7376 - 05/21/02 04:53 PM dead iMac?
Anonymous
Unregistered


last night the screen on my iMac (bondi blue release B) flickered a couple of times (which it has done a bit over the last couple of months) then the whole computer died - no light on keyborad, no stat up noise, nothing. I have checked the power supply to the Mac is there anything else which is worth checking or is this likely to be a case of a blown VDU tube?<br><br>

might just be the card that powers the tube... take it in to an apple reseller/tech... they can have it back up in a jiffy if its just the power card for the monitor... for under $100 most likely.<br><br>Statistics are like a bikini.

my parents have the same iMac and the same thing happened to them last year. It turned out to be the case John mentioned above... only it cost them close to $289.<br><br>this is the one major reason I dislike any computer that has a built in monitor... if it goes, the whole computer goes with it.<br><br>[color:red]semicolon dash parenthesis</font color=red>
