I got an iMac G3 at an auction yesterday for $5. It is an iMac DV special edition, model M5521.
I got it home and plugged it in and it does NOTHING. No light. No click. Nothing at all.
I tried the reset button in the RAM cover (PMU reset), and I also tried replacing the PRAM battery. The old PRAM battery appears to be dead, but the iMac should still boot, bcs from what I understand, this isn't an "old world" mac, but either way, I replaced it with a new good one.
I know CRT's are dangerous, so I don't want to just rip it apart either...
I have found some others with the same problem online, but everything I find is so old, so I figured I'd just ask again.
Any help would be appreciated!
