Good morning everyone! I'd like to pick your brain about a problem I'm having at work. We recently bought a refurbished iMac, 2004 model, with OS 10.4.

Just this weekend it started doing a new trick - when it is shut down, or if it goes into sleep mode, it will not start up or wake up. I press the power button, nothing. After about 30 minutes or so, it will work again as if nothing's wrong. (However, if I do a restart, it will boot back up fine.)

I have tested the power chords and the outlets and they all turn out fine. I've backed up as much as I can and am prepared to do surgery if needed.

Anyone else ever had this problem?
