zenner773 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I recently found in a dumpster a 17' inch iMac G4 (1Ghz, 80 HD, superdriver, 512MB). All components seem to be ok. When I power up the PC, you can hear the chime, but no image comes up. You can see there is backlight but the screen is as dark as night. I really do not care about the lamp case. I was hoping to move all the components to a spare PC case that I have in my basement. Can I use a regular ATX power supply? If I can use a regular PC case with an external LCD monitor (attach to the MB's external LCD port), that would be awesome. Any hints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descalzo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This sounds like a cool idea, but I think you'll have a hard time with the display stuff. BTW, have you seen this: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMac_g4..._takeapart.html Those lampshades are a pain to take apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
