From the “Hey! That’s not a screensaver!” desk…

Own an eMac sold between April 2004 and June 2005? Having trouble with the video or power? If so, you’ll be happy to learn that Apple has instituted yet another repair extension program.

If the first five digits of your serial number are between G8412 and G8520, YM412 and YM520, or VM440 and VM516, and you are seeing distorted, scrambled, or no video; or issues with turning to computer on (no, your computer is not defective if you can’t find the power button), your eMac qualifies fora repair on Apple. Apple’s support site features an info page on this program.

Sidenote: Oddly enough, the other two repair extension programs linked to above also involve issues with video and/or power. Am I noticing a trend?
