xgsjx Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I'm selling my mid 2007, 24" iMac which is in almost mint condition. Unknown to me at the time of purchase back in November 2007, the screen has a yellow tinge and by the time I realised, it was too late to have it fixed under warranty. The yellow tinge does not affect the actual performance of the iMac and unless you intend on using this for design purposes, it's not that bad - see the photo of the screen at boot up. I've edited many photos on it & never realised there was a tint! Other than the screen issue, the unit is in mint condition, with no scratches or defects and still works as well as it did the day I bought it. I have wiped the hard drive and installed the original Tiger operating system, but the disk for Leopard is included with this device. Before I wiped it, I had it running Mavericks and did slow it down, however this is probably because it only has 2GB of RAM - upgrading the RAM would improve this considerably. Specification: Apple iMac 24-Inch (mid 2007) 1920x1200 Native Resolution Core 2 Extreme 2.8GHz 500GB HDD SATA (3Gb/s) Radeon HD 2600 PRO Video Card 2GB 667MHz PC2-5300 DDR2 iMac 7.1 EMC Number 2134 Apple 8X DL Superdrive Apple Aluminium Keyboard Cat ate the mouse, so you'll need to buy your own. Still a pretty decent spec today & has no problems running Reaper or most other music software. If you're looking for a good entry into a low cost home recording set up, You won't be disappointed. GarageBand comes free with OSX as standard & if you can't afford an audio interface, you can simply make a cable with 6.4mm mono Jack wired to one side of a 3.5mm stereo jack & plug straight into the Mac. This actually gave me a better quality than using an Alesis interface. I can post for @ £20.

Here's one of my fave tracks that I made on it with Garageband & my bass.

P-T-P Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Do you have one of those sucker type phone holders in your car? If so, sucker it onto the screen and gently pull. The "glass" is held on by magnets around the edges. Once you've go it off, I imagine you'll be able to easily clean the inside of the glass with a bit of Mr Muscle window cleaner. That is almost certainly where the tinge is hiding. I had a similar thing happen on my iMac. There are videos on youtube showing the fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-T-P Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 This guy does it about 30 seconds nito the vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zHzNC38U8s the inside of the bit he takes off is what you probably need to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 FWIW Mavericks made almost everyone's Mac slow down - Yosemite seemd to fix that, and a SSD would also make for a much more responsive machine for a few quid extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up in Nando's. Hope you got out for something too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
