Weird, this sounds just like the flyback transformer
issue on older model iMac's. I didn't think it
affected the 350MHz slot loaders.
If this is the case then the computer itself isn't
fried, merely a component called the flyback
transformer that regulates the amount of electrical
current that flows into the CRT screen. You press the
power button, it frizzes and then shuts down by
itself, yes?
If so then that's like a safety mechanism. If you were
to pop the casing off the iMac and connect an external
monitor (or your model iMac might even have a video
mirroring port, I wonder if that would help?) then you
would be bypassing the internal monitor and everything
would work fine again.
But this is just a half-assed guess by me. Don't take
it as gospel or anything. Because I'm also not a
Preacher.
