[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 826628, member: 8287"] That looks like the very first iMac G5 lineup. A lot of those suffered with the bad capacitor issue that at the time plagued many motherboards out there. If that is the issue it would either need a new Mainboard or a patient person to change out all the blown Electrolytic Capacitors which takes a lot of skill with soldering printed circuit boards. It could be something else though. Have you tried putting in the Install DVD that came with the iMac and booting holding down the C key and see if the DVD will boot to the installer. If so let us know. [/QUOTE]
