[QUOTE="CaptainKirk, post: 1711651, member: 234178"] Good news - as of around 20:00 hours GMT, the iMac has booted back to life. There are still a few teething problems - it doesn't recognise the external firewire drive with Tiger loaded - it is currently running Jaguar and can also be booted in to OS9. Also it is not recognising the Airport card. But I hope these things will rectify themselves as the iMac has done so far. Since I changed the PRAM battery the first time around, I only pressed the PRAM reset button later - then left it plugged in to the mains - and after about two months, it has come back to life. Oh - I also had to manually enter the correct date and time - it had gone back to 1970. Any way, will be grateful for any suggestions to rectify the remaining issues. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
