I have a Rev A 20" iMac G5 (ordered 1st day available (8/31/04) with 250 gb hd...
besides the noisy optical drive which was always there, I've recently run across these probs and am wondering if anyone else has experienced them-
The LCD strobes/flickers as you would expect a TV or CRT- it does this about 20% of the time-started about two months ago. It is annoying but not unusable- seems to be getting worse though.
Also, twice I have had programs skip out on me (work intermittently-i Tunes, can't remember what else)... I got the spinning beachball thingy and then what i assume was the harddrive started making a disturbing skipping noise. this was much quieter and definately not the optical drive noise. It coincided with the beachball spin. Once it would not stop and I couldn't force quit anything- had to push the dreaded power button.
Any ideas? Anyone else get these probs/ get em fixed?
oh, i remeber once i was running MWord- as much as I'd like to blame microsoft...
