I've got an Aluminium Intel iMac that's been giving me trouble recently. When
it powers on, the display comes on, darker on one side than the other, and then
flickers off. Sometimes moving the computer can get it to flicker back on
momentarily, but that usually doesn't work. The bottom half of

Without a doubt the backlight, then. Is there a problem with the backlight
dying in these iMacs? And does this
I'm pretty sure that none of the clean non-machine-specific system installs
have the iLife applications. But you should have some disk with the iLife suite
on it somewhere. I think it should be labeled Applications, and it'll be a
grey machine-specific install disk.
I hope this helps!

Dear Maccers,
I am trying to install ubuntu but this is the kinda thing that has me STUMPED!
I can't figure it out and have never been able to although I have only tried

I just got my hands on a salvageable eMac from school.
It’s got a 1.25ghz G4 and a 40gb hdd.
I replaced the damaged CD drive with my own DVD drive and now I’ve got a few

(Need to know the polarity of the capacitors)? I've looked all over
the interwebs and I can't seem to find it.
Is there not one on Jim Warholic's website? He's got a bunch of good
info about how to fix the iMac G5 capacitor
From what Apple says, this should point to a problem with the PSU,
but from Jim's experience, it seems that it could be that the logic
board has been fried as well.
So just an update: A friend of mine has an iMac G5 with a working PSU,
so he let me borrow his PSU and stick it in my iMac.
So, FYI, if you're going to try the capacitor replacement trick,
you'd
better do it while the iMac's still able to chime, boot and run,
even
if only briefly. Otherwise, you're very likely going to be left
with a
substantial pile of usable parts, and good capacitors that have to

Hi iMac List,
I hope my subject line was interesting enough.
I have an Aluminum iMac that's been having some problems lately, and
I'm just not sure where to start troubleshooting.
First off, here's the configuration:
This is one of the first-generation Aluminum iMacs.
