[HM] does eMac share iMac's overheating problem?

[John Daschbach]

I have a Tangerine iMac.  When I upgraded to 10.2 from 10.1 it appeared 
that the monitor went dead.  Took it in to a local Applecare authorized 
shop and they followed the recommended diagnostics and determined the 
logic board was bad.  They spent a good bit of time on it.  The logic 
board was very expensive, and they found it worked fine with an 
external monitor, so they let me have it back at no charge for the time 
they spent.  Some time later I actually read something in the fine 
print on the 10.2 upgrade (it ran 10.1 fine) that said a firmware 
upgrade was needed.  Did this and it was fine and I'm typing on it now 
while the kids use they new iMac G5.

Try hooking up an external monitor.

This machine is still very usable given enough memory.
