Just purchased a "working" iMac G3 from ebay unfortunately it did not arrive working. I have attached a video showing what it does.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.
 
Looks like the screen loses power after a few seconds.
Probably the power supply (Power-Analog-Video board)

If you try to repair that, good luck with the 20-year old plastics on that iMac. The last G3 iMac that I tried to repair about 5 years ago just broke into pieces - there's some slots and tabs for the enclosure that used to be flexible. Not so much now.
