Hi all,

So I just picked up an iMac G3 at an estate sale for $30. The sellers had no idea if the machine worked, but it was a pretty low price, so I went on and bought it.

Once home, I discovered its a 1999 slot loading blueberry iMac. 6GB HDD. So, I plugged it in. It was very odd when I plugged the iMac in. The machine began making crackling noises out of the right speaker, and when the power button was pushed the display made a noise that sounded like it turned off. The crackling stopped after the power button is pushed.

Can anyone help? I'd be willing to pay for a new part or something.

Thanks,
