Hi all,
I have an early Intel iMac (Core Duo 20") that of late is experiencing problems...
When I'm using it, it randomly shuts down and refuses to power on until a few minutes have passed.
When it crashes/shuts down I disconnect all cables for a few minutes, and then try to power up. Sometimes it works straight away, other times I need to try again in a few more minutes.
When I say "shuts down" I mean the power just goes, no screen, no LED, no noise, everything just dies. When I say "won't power on" I mean I press the power button but nothing happens, no screen, no beeps, no chime, no whirring, nothing.
Any ideas about what to check first? I personally think it's either (a) overheating or (b) the power supply is knackered or (c) both of the above!
I've tried a different power cable and also disconnecting all peripherals, no difference.
Thanks
Matt
