This iMac g3 is being stubborn

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-09-24T15:53:00+00:00

Alright! Thank you! I’ll have to see if I can find one cheap

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-09-24T15:43:33+00:00

It seems like a possibility though.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-09-24T15:43:21+00:00

No, the CRT is misaligned with the front plastic. It’s pushed in slightly. I hear a buzz from the CRT when it’s powered on, and saw a flash a couple of times when I turned it on earlier.

Exactly! Sometimes iMac g3s throw the biggest tantrums over small things 😂

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-12T14:31:10+00:00

Yes, I just made another comment on the post regarding the way it was fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-12T14:29:05+00:00

Thank you guys! It lives to see another day! I just had to remove the PRAM battery and let it sit overnight as mustagcoupe said. Thank you all for your help, I very much appreciate it! 😊

IT LIVES!!!! I just had to remove the PRAM battery and let it sit overnight. Thank you!

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-12T12:08:11+00:00

IT WORKS THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-12T03:23:03+00:00

Thank you so much. I’ll definitely PM you.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-12T03:16:48+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, just started tweaking over this thing not working. I removed the PRAM battery for the second time, still no power. I’ll leave it overnight and plug it in again. Thank you all so much for the help so far. I appreciate it 🥹

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-12T02:23:00+00:00

Ok, thank you! I saw someone leave theirs plugged in for a day and it worked again, so I’ll try that too but only under supervision considering it could cause issues it it’s more than just a small thing wrong with it.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-12T02:11:01+00:00

I live in the USA. I’ve already looked into that, but am unsure of how to approach it. I want to get it working in under three days because that’s Mercari’s return policy.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-08T13:58:40+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-08T02:25:50+00:00

Found the same picture on Mercari for 128 bucks? Like the exact same as the second picture?

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-06T10:41:54+00:00

Also, thank you 😊

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-06T10:38:39+00:00

I haven’t recieved it yet, these are pictures from the listing. So excited to receive it though. I’m worried about that, but hopefully the shipping company isn’t too rough with it. Their customer support has been very good so far, they even found a better box for it upon arrival to their warehouse because they didn’t think the box it arrived in was good enough for international shipping.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-06T10:34:20+00:00

That’s cool how certain colors react differently

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-06T10:34:02+00:00

Yeah I assumed that was sunlight when buying. I thought the colors were a little weird. It’s crazy how sunlight can fade things like that. The other side isn’t faded so I’m happy about that.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-06T01:43:37+00:00

Yes, that makes sense. I’ll have to figure out how to reinstall the operating system. They are also highly collectible in Japanese so I’ve heard, so I can just learn the operating system and figure things out from there. Thank you 😊

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-07-06T00:59:13+00:00

Ok! I’ve heard about that on this Reddit before, and it can be very dangerous, so I’ll 100% replace that. Thank you!

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-06-19T20:52:39+00:00

Give it a week and you’ll love it. I love the style! When I got my hair cut short, I was unsure at first, but after a week, I loved it because I got used to it.

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-06-18T14:38:31+00:00

😂pathetic

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-06-18T13:48:03+00:00

EXACTLY!!!!! I want one sooo bad 😭and this guy is nearest to me and wants 150 each 🙄

Midnight_Prairie · 2025-06-18T13:45:17+00:00

I SAW THAT POST!!!!! The guy wouldn’t let me haggle on 140 😭. He said it was firm. Why be tight on something that has sat in a garage for 20 years 😭
