Insanely Dead: My iMac is back
updated by rck, 2004-10-12

I bought an iMac back in 1998. Because it was cool. Connect just two cables and you're in the Internet. Yeah, right. It of course didn't work out like that.

Inside iMac

Even though the motherboard (in fact we're talking about two -- there's another one below it) is crammed with loads of stuff, it's looking very neat and tidy. Well it better should, as I don't think, I'm the only one having troubles with it!

(Oh, by the way: I'd love to read your opinions, tips, rants, comments, whatever -- just press the link "Kommentar abgeben" below to write it!)

The metal cage on the left is hiding away the memory bar. And the connector at the bottom is -- who would dare to even think about it -- another memory slot! The repair manual doesn't tell me, wether it's "real" main memory or "only" video memory. But I'd guess it's a "real" memory slot.

Where can I find memory for it?

  • Bad experience

    It's a pity you've had a bad experience with your iMac but mostly it just comes from lack of knowledge and some bad advice from your retailer although I don't know about the power-up problems.

    The RAM is dirt cheap as it's standard SODIMM or DIMM depending on the slot. It can be expanded to 192MB RAM which is barely passable for OSX and some people have had 384MB running ok. The video ram can be expanded to 6MB which will get you millions of colours at 1024x768.

    The empty port you mention is probably the mezzanine slot, not airport if you've a RevA iMac. There were only a few expansion cards for it as Apple killed the slot in the RevC iMac. IIRC there was a Voodoo2 card and a SCSI card.

    Have a look at http://www.lowendmac.com for more info. Should be a bunch of stuff on there.
