Cal?

A Mac?

Lets hope that the HD is easily recoverable.

Spent a morning sorting out the system (X.7.5) and ended with a re-install and ditto with Office 2011. All seems OK.

.......I'm not sure. When something lets out a little bang, maybe it's telling me something?

squeeze da 811B in it

I think that this little kit would be appropriate for a Batsch winter project!

 

[brianco]

Bk told me that it was minus 42.......

Something for our age group c2c!


Edit:
Seems to be a rather cold wind in that room!

 

[Cal Weldon]

Yes, an imac.

I have back up so no problem but the old computer is sooooo slow.

If it's cold in there then light a fire.....

They say that a man stands with his back to a fire to heat the whole of his body, whereas a lady stands at 180deg to warm the whole of creation.

 

[brianco]

Yes, an imac.

Hope the repair can be rapid.

The batteries have exploded in iMacs, and of course Els can be troublesome anywhere.

 

[stajo]

Yes, an imac.

It might be a worm. In the apple.

 

[eyoung]

as was stated the imacs have notorious "bad Caps" in the power supply mainly, lots of info on line...

Who needs a terrorist with an i-mac present.

Sad night at Maison Weldon. Wifey was happily typing away when POOF!

I could hear it in the next room. Now the nice big shiny computer is silent and the little dusty one is all that's left. I sure had got used to multiple processors and all that jazz. I hope it is a simple problem with a PSU or something but I'm not sure. When something lets out a little bang, maybe it's telling me something?

Happened to me. Cap or tranny in power supply. Took it to the guru. Put in new power supply. In and out five minutes.

Happened to me. Cap or tranny in power supply.

From what she described, that was my first guess

The batteries have exploded in iMacs,

The battery for the memory when you unplug it?

Again, my first thought.

Thanks guys, will suggest it when I take it in.

Cheers.

OMG using this old unit is painful.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Think of it as sexual experience, those who start with an old bag, likely will end with one.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Well, I guess that eliminates me. My wife, who is actually older than me, gets mistaken for the babysitter. I think I'm doing ok.

Old bags are what you bring home the groceries in.

[stajo]

Dodos

 

[Cal Weldon]

Back at the office now so I have a computer I can actually type on. The other one will be back from the Doctor on Wednesday hopefully. New PSU, hopefully with good caps this time.

 

[brianco]

Don't be lazy Cal.............take them out and put some decent ones in!

 

[brianco]

You mean you STILL need a babysitter?
