My iMac just died! All of a sudden, I heard an electrical arc and it died! I had just moved the iMac farther back on its desk, and it suddenly quit. I unplugged it and noticed that the jack for the power cord on the back of the machine was loose. I plugged it back in and it wouldn't come on when I pressed the power button. After I re-fitted the power cord to the back of the machine, it came on again. However, the menubar clock said 6:03 PM, December 31, 1969, and I had to use System Preferences.app to change it.Has anyone else had something funky like this happen to their CRT iMac? Where can I get the power cord jack fixed? Macs Liberated:

Its your RAM, I am sure your ram is loose, just make sure its in there, unplug all your cables for 30seconds and try turning on again.Jeremy "I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon" - Pink Floyd Covert Ops

A service centre will charge you for a new PSU, but if you don't ming doing it yourself it will only cost a few bucks for an IEC socket.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

Exactly. Desoldering the old one and soldering on the new one shouldn't be too hard. -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5
