Hi all Our sole remaining G5 iMac in the fleet has decided to play up.
This morning when trying to wake it up as normal the screen remained black and the fans started to roar. Held the off switch down for 5 seconds and it shut down. left it for a while, unplugged everything, switched it on. The light came on, very slightly pulsing, but no chime. Dark screen. After about a minute the fans came on again, so shut it down again. Repeated the process a couple of times.
Thinking there may be a dust build up inside I tried to get the back off, loosened the three screws, but couldn't get the back off...seems very tight and I didn't want to wriggle it too much.
Opinions sought. Is there an easy solution that I'm overlooking?
