How would I go about directly powering an Imac G3?
I recently found one of these on the street. It is a slot loading blue version. Motherboard: 820-1275-a.
The crt and plastic where completely destroyed and taped together. So the first thing I did was safely removing the crt and taking out the analog board.
That's when I realized this project might get tricky.
The analog board was very dirty and in bad shape. The logic board, however, seemed completely fine.
plugged it in (without the crt) and pressed the power button. A short beep came from the speakers
and the light lit up, but nothing more.
After some examination, I concluded that the logic board takes in AC from the analog board, which then goes to the attached down converter.
So the question here is: How do I supply power directly to the logic board?
I don't have a lot of knowledge about electricity, so I would really like some advice before doing something stupid
