[DM-MUG] Problem with old iMac

[Matt W]

You'll probably need to replace the analog video board or power supply. 
I've stopped doing this kind of repair because it requires a lot of 
disassembly, waiting for parts, and then if it's the other board, 
you're out more time and money. It's frequently not economical unless 
you buy parts on eBay and you're never quite sure in what condition 
those parts are. I'd estimate at least $300 and possibly more depending 
upon whether or not the shop you choose actually wants to make money on 
the repair. You could try calling Haddock on 8th Street in WDSM at 
225-9040 if you still want to repair it.

For the money, I'd back up the data, and consider saving up for a new 
one when this one finally goes. I might be interested in it for parts 
regardless.

I'm also looking for deceased Airport Base Stations (preferably 
Graphite's, but I accept all models) and various other unused/broken 
Macs, monitors and peripherals. Call me at 453-2775 or e-mail me at 
mattw@technicalmac.com.
