I've been putting this off for a while for some reason, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
I like to boot up my 233 MHz iMac G3 and write some music in a program I have installed on it, which I usually do every few weeks.
The last time I tried, which was a few weeks ago, it wouldn't do it. No power light on the front, no fan spinning up, nothing. But, I did notice a faint sound, sort of like a hissing noise coming from inside the computer.
To me, this sounds like a blown capacitor, though I didn't know these machines were susceptable to that. But I'm no expert by far, and I would like to know what could be wrong with it, and what I could do, if anything to fix it.
Thank you!
