Know anyone with a similar iMac? You could use their Install Disc 1 to run the Apple Hardware Test on it. If not, you might be able to find a disc image of it out on the torrents.

I have one of those now that I got when they first came out. It was a huge improvement over the G4 Sawtooth I had been using.

no audio sounds good to me.

Have you popped it open to check the speaker and head phone jack connections to the motherboard? I don't know if they're easily visible in that model, though.

I haven't opened it up. The Griffin iMic works fine, though I hate to "waste" using it on the iMac if I could get the onboard audio to work. It is in such beautiful shape - I don't want to mess it up by opening it. I'll get the RAM tomorrow and install it.
It came with a fresh SL on it - right from the sign in screen. So I doubt it is a software problem.

One night after I turned the lights out I saw the red glow coming from the minijack and realized the optical out was stuck. The only fix is to manually poke around with a toothpick and untrigger the button. Before realizing this no audio on headphones or built in speaker. -Shawn |
