Hi All,
I am looking at a 1.25Ghz Imac G4 for a friend of mine.
The screen has gone completely black. No faint image etc. When I turn on the computer, it sounds like it is running and when I put in an OS X disc, it spins as if it is working, but I can't tell as I have no picture.
I ordered a mini VGA adapter and hooked up an external monitor and still nothing...but the computer sounds like it is running (HD, CDROM etc.).
Is there any keys that have to be pressed to activate the external display?
Assuming the computer is running, what next ???
How do I check if monitor is fine or not? Could maybe purchase parts/equipment on ebay to ressurect the machine, or sell it for parts ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance,
jtplayte
p.s. I have the thing apart now with monitor off...hooked all back up "loose"....open to try repairs ?
