I have an Intel iMac 17" and the screen went bad. So I connected the video-out to my TV, placed it behind the TV, put XBMC on it, and now use it as a media center for showing photos and playing video and serving music to my Roku Soundbridge. You might want to go that route, fixing the screen is just waaay to expensive for some reason.

Try un plugging the computer, give it a ten count then plug it back in and turn it on. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
