[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1118651, member: 56379"] I'm not 100% sure if most iMac G3 disassembly guides will actually include the removing of the CRT video cable from the logic board (since it may not be something most people need to do)...but once you figure out how to take apart the iMac G3 to get to the video cable (via one of the iMac G3 disassembly guides)...you will probably have no problem figuring it out...it's not really that complex in there!;) In case you don't do this sort of thing very often...be very very careful working around CRT display components! Even for a while after unplugging the computer...the CRT components can & will retain a very very large electrical charge (something like up to 25,000 volts)...and if you touch the wrong thing...you won't like it very much!!!:( Here's an article on how to safely discharge a CRT display: [url=http://www.wikihow.com/Discharge-a-CRT-Monitor]How to Discharge a CRT Monitor[/url] Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
