Greetings, hoping to get some help from all of you, I got my Bondi Blue iMac G3 233 in from a seller on eBay, good news it survived shipping just fine. But big surprised seller said it works good and it don't. It has a bad flyback, it will boot and load OS, but the screen go's on and off with a clicking sound. I have no problems in replacing the flyback, a replacement part is only about 20 bucks.

I do have one question, when the system is plugged in a not turned on you can hear a whining sound, is that part of the bad flyback or a 2nd problem?
