[Early Access] This Bondi iMac Has a Terrifying Problem... Let's Fix It
🕑 Added 2023-05-06 02:37:10 +0000 UTCTHIS is a 1998 iMac G3 Rev B, which I think is the best of all the trayloaders for several important reasons. What's not great is the terrifying electric arcing sound that's coming from inside while it's running... Let's fix it, and get it ready for an extremely rare CPU upgrade!

Oh yeah! I was really surprised that just some cleaning, grease and a quick reflow is all it took to get it back to 100%

This repair is one I'm dreading on my Bondi Blue. Great video, thanks for walking through it!

❤️ the iMac G3. I had graphite DV back in Y2K, and miss it every day. Just hypothetically - anyone know of any G4 sonnet upgrades that could be compatible with the later revision iMacs? If I could get an iMac with the specs of a quicksilver powermac, that would be cool. Pointless, but cool.
