I don't know where else this could fit into. I have a Intel based iMac (white with isight and light sensor) that i picked up from craigslist for $60. Thinking i could take a shot at it, i tore into the machine and got the thing to boot. I have a OSX disk that will load and get me to the apple logo on boot, then a blue screen. [Forgot to mention, i got an adapter for it since the lcd seems to be shot.] After, It will blink and show a white screen with black boxes. I can see the movement of the mouse but that has issues rendering the mouse image too. I heard that these have issues with the video card damn near melting in them.
So, is it the logic board? or something im missing. Also is it worth trying to find a lcd (cheep) and fix it? or just mod the crap out of it with pc hardware?
