Dead Imac G4
Posted by: macman0512 on 2020-05-30 05:44:08
Right. I may have done something incredibly stupid. After inserting an usb thumbdrive into my imac g4, it crashed. It wouldn't bong after that, so I thought, why not press the PMU reset button. Which I did. Twice. Once about 20 seconds, because I didn't know what the results coud be. It now will only spin its fan. The PRAM battery is long dead, and I haven't replaced it yet, don't know if this is somekind of issue, but even without it inserted it wouldn't work. I have also tried changing the ram. Still nothing. Does anyone have any idea on what to do?
