[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1400296, member: 46727"] That's a very old machine (10 years old) and very likely has a bad power supply. Those machines were especially prone to bad power supplies, particularly the electrolytic capacitors. If you would really like to dig in and repair it, go to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] and look up the take apart instructions. Also keep in mind that the CRT monitor may not be working very well either. So unless you're prepared to spend some money on repairs, you might want to pass on it. [/QUOTE]
