Hello,


I tried to update firmware G3 with MacOS9 CD I selected the G3 folder on the MacOS9 and continue with the update. The iMac computer stopped and power button turned orange. Now computer will not startup just power button stays orange.


Thanks!
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

hello


Does the unit power up at all? Powering up means checking for hard drive noises, CD drive noises, etc. and does NOT mean just a blank screen/no startup sound.

If you do get the noises, try resetting the PRAM by holding all of these keys while powering the unit up: CTRL + OPTION + P + R and hold until unit does boot or 30 sec. whichever comes first.

You could also try resetting the PMU, except that there are a whole bunch of models and the method to reset varies from model to model, so "iMac G3" is not very useful information. Go to www.apple.com/support and type in your serial number in the "support coverage" box near the bottom left of the page to see exactly which model you have, then search for "reset PMU iMac G3 xxxxx" where xxxxx=your model.
