iMac Black Screen No Chime Led 1 Fans Rev

Hi There.

I have a problem a back screen issue.

The fans turns on with the hdd and DVD drive.

I checked the onboard diagnostics and LED 2, 3 and 4 are off.

I have replaced the PSU but but still a black screen.

I have replaced the cmos battery but still black screen.

I have baked the gpu but still black screen.

Ask for any info about Imac.

Edit.


I forgot to mention I plugged in a different keyboard when it was working and when 15 min past it crashed and I could turn it on but it would crash less then 10 min in it would crash. The next day it would not turn on I have the issue now.

Hmm... I'd say try reseating the CPU.

@beanman56

It didn't work I reseated the CPU. Still doesn't work.

@tomytom - Okay sounds like a faulty logic board then...

@oldturkey03 - Any thoughts?

@beanman56 - Often I find the GPU power rail is shorted to ground. Inferring a short with in the GPU board likely a burnt cap.
