Someone on freecycle is offering a dead 24" iMac (about 5 years old) they said something went pop inside. Just wondering if anyone knew of a common failure mode - ie is it worth the effort of getting it and trying to fix it?

If something went pop audibly, it could just be a blown PSU or even an internal fuse gone. Taking a chance though on what else may have been killed at the same time. If it's free though the risk is minimised :)
