Hello! So I was given an old Emac that doesn’t seem to boot. In the pictures attached I show the cord that used to lead to the power button I’m pretty sure? I lent the computer to a museum for a couple months and when I got it back the button I soldered to it isn’t attached anymore..

Anyways when it was attached I’d press it and all that’d happen was that the fan would spin and CRT screen would crackle a bit. I’ve also replaced the pram battery. It didn’t come with any ram so I just found some that fit (the ram I’m holding next to the slot in the picture). still nothing..
I’m gonna re solder a new button on again but I’m unsure what else to do?
I’m gonna try and get my hands on some ram that is in a working emac that I know of. Otherwise any help would be great (:
Oh ps. Down the final image attached it down by the speaker it looks like that brown wire connector is unattached? What would that be if anyone knows..
Anyways thanks to anyone! Also I can answer any questions

I was playing Roblox and suddenly it just did this, flashes amber when I plug charger in and I tried everything to fix it, do I just go to a repair shop or just get a pc? And if I do get a pc how do I transfer my nvme from laptop to pc

I have a computer i was doing cable management on and noticed three of the pins of my GPU adapter were pulled. I plugged them back in but I’m not confident in plugging it back in to the PC. Does anyone know if it is safe to use or or to get an authentic Nvidia adapter?

Is this even fixable? It’s only on the left side and I can pop it back in, but it feels like it could break at any moment. Took laptop to local repair shop to fix a crack in the top plate and now I have a hinge problem (in their defense I may have had it before, but wouldn’t it have been caught upon reassembly?). When I brought it up to them at pick up they said HP is known for this (HP = hinge problem). They made it seem like it’s not fixable and something to just deal with. It doesn’t affect the use of the computer but I do worry about functionality over time. Please give me your honest opinions preferably from experience or profession. Thanks!

Just don't want to break anything.
