Wife's G3 iMac just went poof - power supply?
#6
Yeah.. sounds like a blow'ed up PAV board...

Even if you find one (and they're getting a bit scarce), you'll pay more than the cost of a used eMac for it.

I'd take the suggestion of stripping it for it's good parts, eBay or Craigslist what you can, and then start shopping for an uber-cheap replacement like a lampshade iMac, or early model eMac... or even a G4 Tower.

I'm a fellow cheapskate... but it's really NOT worth fixing (it's NOT a job for someone uncomfortable with stripping the iMac down to the last screw, either)... and with a bit of patience, $200 can buy you a pretty darn good replacement if the iMac DV was "adequate".
