Hi guys, I need some help here. Until yesterday, my iMac G3 slot is working fine, but today, I can't power it up. When I press the power button, the light just flash and then went off. I've opened it up to check the PRAM batt and also checked if there are any shorts on the logic board. All looked ok to me. The HDD is working fine and I supposed the power supply unit is fine too. Please help and advice on this. Thanx!!

If the iMac won't power up how do you know the hard drive is working fine? What makes you think the power supply is OK? Sounds like it could be a blown logic board, burned out processor or fried power supply. :(

Well, as I've said, it was working fine till yesterday. I hope it's not the logic board. If it's the PSU, where do I get a replacement for the power supply? I'm living in Singapore.
