I have a first-gen iMac G5 20-inch that had video issues that looked very much like that, at one point. I resolved them by replacing all the capacitors on the logic board. It took me several resolder attempts before I got all 25 caps properly soldered, but the iMac's video display now is as stable and almost as pretty as it was when new. ("Almost" refers to fact that the smokey white line across the bottom from the left side to about mid-point -- which I have seen on a lot of G5 iMacs -- was unaffected by all the work.) :^} Jim Scott -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
