[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1528396"] It sounds to me like the iMac G4 is actually working fine, the problem you seem to have is that the backlight for the screen has died. Among the other solutions that should work: 1. Plug in an external monitor using the proper adapter 2. Do a Firewire transfer to another Mac that has firewire of the data you want to preserve 3. Get a flashlight to shine on the screen and copy the relevant data to a USB thumb drive [/QUOTE]
