Hello, I bought this 17" iMac G5 1.9 Ghz iSight model with OSX 10.4.11. First issue I noticed was no response to Power button. The seller gave me a tip, which turned out to be "resetting SMU procedure". Sometimes it helps, sometimes it gets powered off in the middle of BONG, figured out I need to pull the plug off, wait several minutes and try again.Yesterday finally managed to spare some time to play with it and there's another problem. When I use apps like Safari or games it starts that horrible fan noise (just like jet engine) and then... it gets to sleep! It wakes up successfully, but it happens again. I would contribute this getting into "sleep mode" with processor consuming apps. I guess it wouldnt get asleep when I was tinkering with OSX itself.
My first diagnosis was bad power supply (regarding to Power On and sleep issues), even managed to find a Mac shop which offers PSU fixes for $20-$70. I am hesitating if I should give it a try and send it to forementioned service or just call it off and ask seller for refund. What's your bet - power supply or something worse like motherboard? TIA Mike PS. I havent tried to dust off the grill yet. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
