Thanks for all the replies. Not sure if it's worth doing and how much it will cost as I bought it for £50 off eBay and it got damaged in post due to lack of packaging (even though the seller claimed it had alot of packaging in it) but the seller gave me £20 back so I got it for £30 untested and...

Just tried re inserting the logic board sees to be starting up every time now. Will update you if it comes back.

I haven't yet re capped the board but would like to avoid it if possible. I replaced the PRAM battery with a new one yesterday and I usually leave it turned on at the switch. Any other suggestions? Will try unplugging and plugging in the logic board. Here's a video if you need it...

Hello. I am having a problem where my colour classic when booting it up it sometimes doesn't chime and goes to a grey screen. Sometimes it will do other random stuff like play the crash sound but stay on the Grey screen. I tried cleaning the board (was filled with dust). That fixed it for a...

I got a colour classic today and I have some questions. 1) what would be best for playing basic games on it? A FPU, vram upgrade or ram upgrade? 2) any good games that I can run on it? 3) is there any way of getting a cheap HDD for more space? Thanks.

what is the newest OS that the colour classic (Not the colour classic II) can run? Thanks.

Not the screen or cable. Tried it on a different power macintosh and it didn't do that. also it looks like someone spilled coffee down the side of the power macintosh g3

It is not a all in one. Maybe it would be easier if i show you a picture of it. P.S. I got given the power macintosh G3 and the other computers for free. When i picked them up they were in rough shape.

It says in the title. Power macintosh G3

The title explains everything. Also can I just use standard CD-R's to put the software on? Thanks.

I was just wondering why this is happening. I think the flashing disk is a HDD problem as there are wired HDD sounds coming from it and I think the flashing screen is a GPU problem. Anyone know how I can repair this and get the original OS back on it. Thanks.

It's the one in my profile pic. June 2000 slot loading indigo iMac g3.

Where would I find one of these?

Could it be because it has been in a cold place for a while? Also sometime soon I have another one exactly like this one so hopefully the 2nd one is better.

Is this normal? Thanks. P.S: I have another Imac G3 coming so if the CRT is on its way out then I have another one coming. EDIT: I am not sure if it was me hearing things or if it really did sizzle.
