Any updates on this? I just inherited a G5 iMac 20" that was relegated to 6 months of in a box storage for the same issue. The original owner was quoted $900 to replace a defective MB and opted instead for a new laptop. I'm gonna play with it a bit. If heat is indeed the issue they maybe some radical venting is in order...cool collar? That or I'll take it apart and sell the monitor online.
