I have a lovely new lime iMac G3 but it has a display that needs some work. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me from these photos what needs to be recapped. Analog board, neck board, downconverter or maybe all 3? Fried flyback?

I do have others that I can swap parts with to determine all this but I thought I'd check in case a recap would keep me from having to pull the other ones apart. I've reset PRAM & PMU already.

Thanks for your help.

maybe a cracked solder joint on VRAM?
