Hello, I have a 1.25 emac that has died. It started with thick black and white jaggedy lines running diagonally across the screen (it woudl be frozen). I've been rebooting it every day or so as this problem as persisted, but now it just chimes and goes to a gray screen, nothing more. I reset PVRAM, no luck. This refurb isn't worth a new chipset....

Anyway, I need the data from the hard drive, so I'm trying to take it out and put it into another machine. HOW? I really need pictures... I have the case off and have no clue where the HD is.

Thank you, seems like you have a cool site here.
 
You could also try booting the eMac with the T key held down to put it into firewire disk mode. Then connect a firewire cable between the emac and another working Mac to transfer off the data.
