[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1148925, member: 56379"] I'm with you 100%. Definitely better to purchase another iMac G3 then to try and repair the current one! To the OP: Yes...don't worry too much about your iMac's display. If it's working fine now...it will probably be fine for a while. There are at least four signs that a CRT display is going bad: - text on the screen starts to get fuzzy - you start to hear a high pitched "whining" sound - the picture on the display starts to "jiggle, wiggle, or just isn't rock steady" - you can hear an electrical "popping" sound inside the computer I only mentioned the CRT display possibly being a problem since it is a G3 iMac...and the CRT display on them can eventually go bad. Enjoy it,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
