[QUOTE="dkaff, post: 1426199, member: 199315"] Hello again, I took a drive yesterday to the closest Apple store and after hearing my description (and plugging in their diagnostic cable) they told me that based on my information it was most likely the power supply or motherboard. So, I am interested in using my multimeter to test both pieces of hardware. I'm not all that familiar with how to use a multimeter but figure that I can do it. I do have one slightly bulging capacitor on the power supply and I'm going to get to looking at the motherboard later today. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I know that it would be easier to just get a new iMac but this certain one belongs to my wife and fits (and matches) perfectly in a small space that we have for it. Thanks in advance for your help!
