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

I have 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.
I have an eMac 1.4 GHz which is a 2005 that had a 80 GB HD and a combo drive. I
wanted to upgrade the hard drive to a 500 GB and a super drive. I learned the
hard way about being careful when pulling the case off as I messed up the power
button. Yes, I know how to turn it on by shorting out the
I was able to get the 1.2 GHz machine to run without the case on. I will try
that and see if that makes a difference. If it does, I will post it, if not, I
will also post that as well. I'm just hoping that I can get the wire to the
power button to stay since the end of the connector on the back
You are correct, there isn't a sensor that will determine if the case is on or
not. No, I don't leave the twist tie connecting the red and black wire, as that
was only a momentary connection just to turn it on as the switch is a momentary
switch. So at this point in time, I'm no closer than I
I'm going to try that, swapping boards. What is HSF?

The power button doesn't seem to be the problem as I have the case from the 1.4

That's okay to us PC terms because all computers are PC's, as it's the
operating system that makes a Mac a Mac and a Windows machine a Window machine,
Linux, etc. The HSF is actually a heat sink attached to a heat pipe that has
fins attached to it on both the 1.2 and 1.4 machine. From what I
Have any idea which capacitors and where? Can they be replaced by someone that
knows how to use a soldering iron? I have a friend that is an electronics
person. He would prefer to have a schematic for the whole thing. Does anyone
know where I can find one of those?
Thanks again Elliot, and

eMacs are great investment for the money. They will run OS X.5.8 and you can
put in a generic super drive from the regular PC world as well as an IDE hard
drive and PC memory as well. Yes, they are really cool looking too. The nice
thing is they have 3 USB 2.0 ports as well as 2 Firewire ports
Where are the capacitors located? In the power supply itself?

Software is available to unlock that ability in the eMac as well. So if you can
get a good deal on an eMac, it doesn't matter which version of OS is on it, you
can put up to 10.5.8 on it.
Thanks again Elliot.

They just don't have eMacs on it unfortunately. Would the capacitors work and
then shut off the eMac?

Or, as you are taking something out, put the screw into the part, as long as
the hole for that part isn't on the laptop itself. If that's the case, then you
put the screw into the hole in the laptop. Takes a little longer but it works,
as that is what I learned to do when working on motorcycles
