My iMac400 has suddenly begun to cut out, as if a powercut has occurred. Am I correct in thinking this is probably the iMac powersupply that's developed a fault, and if so is it something that is repairable or replaceable, without recourse to the (miles away) Apple Dealer.
Probably yes, probably no, yes depending how brave you are.
But likely to cost more than the economic value of the machine.

Check the power lead is fully pushed home first. Mine did this and all it was, was the loose lead - it doesn't have to be much either.

Aye, that's exactly what I did, got the lead trapped behind the desk, and it pulled every time I moved the iMac.
