This 1.25 eMac has been through Apple's refurbish program so I imagine
all those issues were taken care of. It does boot from an external
drive which is how I'm doing this now. At one time, the original
internal HD has worked, and then it quits. Could it be the hard drive
going bad? Yet it checks out okay.
TIA

The 1.25 eMacs were known to have bad capacitors on the Logic board. I
had the self same problem with mine and ended cannibalising it for
parts and spares for my other eMacs.Short of replacing the logic board
or the capacitors (you really dont want to try either. I have and its a
nightmare), the machine sounds to me like a dead one.Sorry to be the
bearer of bad news.Matt======================================== Message

a 1.25 eMac was booting up nice with OSX 5.8 with 256 MGs of Ram, 80GB
HD. I had a 512 stick in it to be able to go from 10.4 to 10.5. Now I
get a screen that says at the top "You need to restart your computer.
Hold down the Power Button for several seconds or press the restart
button". Which I've done several times. I pulled the HD out and hooked
it up to another machine, to check to see if there were issues with
the HD that needed to be repaired. That didn't do it either. I've had
this problem before, and can't remember what I did, or didn't do, to
fix it. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. TIA Garth [ (no
