Hey everyone! I've posted a few revivals before, mainly about my classic Macs. I recently obtained an iMac G3 DV with the original box and accessories for $100. It was listed as working, however it did nothing other than let out a quick speaker pop when pressing the power button. I've recapped my classic Macs before to some success, so I decided to try again with this one!
I got it apart and ordered all the caps for the downconverter, the PAV, and the neck board. Also managed to find the service guide online, thank god for that, as I had yet to find any decent take apart guide on a slot loader. I've got everything recapped and cleaned up, now to get it back together and see if it boots!
Fingers crossed it works! Also have an SSD replacement ready to go for it, and an airport adapter on the way. Hoping to do some old school miniDV video editing once I get a working camcorder.
