The gray wire is one of the antennae leads to the wireless card on the motherboard. The other lead is either white or black. Or the card may have three leads for the "N" speed. Wireless cards have white, black and gray wires for the antennae.

Sounds like you may have some permissions issues - I would suggest sticking in the OS disc that came with your iMac, restarting, and holding the "C" key when you hear the chime - this will make it boot off the CD. Once booted from it, go to Tools->Disk Utility, choose your disk, and do "Repair Permissions". Once that is done, you can quit the installer and restart. If that doesn't work, the next step I would recommend is running DiskWarrior, which is $99 - this is like an industrial permissions/hard drive directory repair disc, used by many professionals. If that doesn't solve it, you will likely have to back up your user data and do a fresh install of the OS from the discs you have. Good luck!

Pretty sure any size, but they use 3.5" SATA drives, not 2.5 laptop drives. iMacs only use desktop drives so get as big as you want, or can afford with a big cache. The 17 imacs are hard to get into so search the internet on how to get in and replace it and to put the heat shield back in right. Be careful not to break the clips.

this may happen if your computer overheats. try waiting a few minutes before powering back on.

Possibly, the newer G5 Imacs feature Intel 2 Core Duo Processers. While older generations, do not support Intel Core Duo or Intel 2 Core Duo Processers.

First (and this is going to sound stupid) check that it has both power and is connected to the computer. Second, if it turns on check that it is recieving a signal. For video cards, most computers keep the default display adapter as the built in one and you have to manually change it in your CMOS settings. Third, make sure that your computer or screen isn't burnt out. This can happen and is noticible if your screen says nothing or your computer doesn't output a signal. If you aren't sure check your screen with someone elses computer.

the dvd drive in Imac is on the right hand side
