iMacs G3 power supply compatiblity question

I have an original Bondi blue iMac G3. Power supply works OK.
I have a flower power iMac G3 but the power supply is defunct.
Can I swop the Bondi 's iMac power supply to the flower power iMac?
Thanks.

Unfortunately the answer is no. I just checked Mactracker & the Bondi Blue iMac uses a 80 watt power supply. The Flower Power iMac uses a 150 watt power supply. So if you tried to use the Bondi Blue iMac's power supply it probably wouldn't provide enough wattage for the iMac to work properly. I would recommend looking on eBay for a replacement power supply. Some vendors might have one or more in stock.

Thank you very much. Mactracker.. I never thought of looking there. Thank you again. eBay it is. Michael.
