I have an original iMac bondi blue... The screen gave out years ago. I can start up the computer, get the nice chimes and it sounds like it starting up. The light on the front remains orange, but I can hear the hard drive spinning (which leads me to think that it's starting up the system)...
There are a number of files that I need to get off of the computer but am unsure how to proceed. Can I somehow hook the iMac up to an iBook and start it up as an external HD. Would an ethernet connector (for between two computers) work if I can't see if apple talk and filing sharing are on/working (the screen?)?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Am I going to have to take out the hard drive from the iMac (which I'm fine with) and how easy is it to do that (and then hook it up to a ibook as an external HD)?
I realize that's a lot of questions, any help would be greatly appreciated!
