    iMac stopped booting

    I fixed this problem on an identical machine by changing the PRAM battery after zapping ( Restart and hold down Command-Option-P-R.  The computer will restart, continue to hold buttons until the computer has restarted several times.) had no effect. Paul.

    Hardware Tech in Edinburgh?

    Does anyone know a competent hardware technician in Edinburgh, Scotland? My sister's late G3 iMac has a hard disc problem that software tools fail to solve and I live on the other end of the U.K so cannot help effectively. Any help gratefully accepted, Paul.

    As the machine is a refurb I am still waiting to hear what it's original DOA fault was, but I bet it was intermittent Hard Drive Problem. Reseller says "Dead HD, which kind do you want to pay us to replace it with?" If it's original fault was as I expect then it's me slugging it out...
