IMac G4 sunflower broken

Hello,
I have an old iMac G4 Sunflower. Yesterday, while doing some updates, it froze. Since then, I have a black screen. I tried turning it off and on again, nothing works. I can hear the motor, the mouse lights up, but the screen is black and unresponsive. Also, I can't turn on the CD drive.
What is it? What should I do?
Thanks

    Hi,

    Get into a very dark room and turn on your Mac:
    - if you can slightly see the Finder, then there's a good chance that the backlight is not working and therefore the inverter needs to be changed. It's a part found within the screen and you can change it yourself if you're handy. I have 3 MacBooks at home, and 2 of them have already had this issue which cost me between 100 and 200 euros.

    - if you can't see anything, then it's more complicated.

    But the best thing you can do is to find an Apple Center near you to have them diagnose your iMac.
