    2017 27” 5K iMac kernel panic problem

    Hi everyone, I have a base model 2017 27” 5K iMac, with an SSD and 40 GB of RAM (most of which I added). I’m having an issue lately where every day or two, for the last two or three weeks, while my iMac is sleeping, it has a kernel panic and restarts itself, taking me back to the startup login...

    I am trying to figure out why my iMac G3 won't boot. The component I am currently suspicious of is the transformer on the pictures. From the 4 wires in to the 9 wires out it seems to have two primary windings, and then 4 secondary windings + a center tab. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a...

    Help with early 2008 Imac screen!!!!.

    Hi all. I was recently given an early 2008 iMac that has a problem with either the screen or the graphics card, because although the mouse pointer is visible, it is almost imperceptible. I wanted to know if you can think of what it could be. It is obvious that the problem is one of the two. I...

    I cannot believe there's no way to use a 27" 2015 iMac as a second display

    It just seems totally INSANE that there's no way to use an iMac 27" 2015 as a display without hardware hacks. In 2025. I don't need high FPS or anything. I mean, the iMac and the MacBook are on the same network, surely there is some solution which works over the local network.
