It is possible to replace the flyback transformer.
I'm not familiar with a Power Mac AIO, is it similar to a G3 iMac? If
so, isn't there a potentially large jolt of current waiting to shock
someone if they don't discharge it first?
In the case of a flyback transformer, it's more voltage than current.
But it only takes about 15ma to stop a Human heart. 20,000 to 30,000
volts (depending in the design of the equipment) is certainly more than
enough to push 15ma through a Human skin.
Not to put anyone down, or insult anyone's intelligence, BUT!!! If a
person is not able to recognize a flyback problem on their own, they
probably don't have the electronics training or experience to be
tinkering around with a CRT or flyback transformer.
$5.00 wasted is hardly worth mentioning. But $5,000.00 (minimum) for
a funeral + the loss of a loved one is not worth any computer, no matter
how "Classic" it may be.
Cheers,
