Hi all, bought a 20" G5 Imac with 2gb ram and 1tb hdd off ebay last week. (sold as faulty)
It came today and when you turn it on, it appears to boot.. it will get so far, then go off...
try and boot again and it will go off.
try it a 3rd or 4th time and it comes onto the os and it works and stays on.
turning power off and back on again quickly and it boots again with no probs..
does this sound like a capacitor problem on the logic board or psu ?
Ive yet to open it up to check the capacitors, ill do that later when im back from work.
look forward to your thoughts on this.
By the way, it has no camera on it so perhaps one of the early ones?
It cost me £95 delivered so I think I got it for a good price...
