    iMac G3 Graphite 700MHz not booting, possibly cooked

    Good point, probably worth looking at changing anyway if you get the graphite LB to work. Frustrating things computers!

    iMac G3 Graphite 700MHz not booting, possibly cooked

    I'm referring to the big cap on the power supply board you can see it through the clear case near the crt. you need to fully dissemble the iMac to get to it.
