Answer to: Reinstalled hard drive, now a white screen with folder? Icon flashing

Aug 20 2012

Well, it sounds like you have successfully replaced the hard drive, now comes the fun part. You have to install the operating system! :-) You'll need to insert the original DVD for OSX that came with your machine and boot from that. You can also boot from an external drive that has a system bootable partition already installed.

Answer to: iMac stuck on white screen, gear stops spinning

Answer to: Not booting - black screen, no drive spin-up

Here's how I would handle it. Connect everything to the logic board, EXCEPT the hard drive. Try to turn it on. If the machine tries to boot up but gives you the message that there is not a bootable disk found, then problem is most likely the hard drive. If you still get a black / blank screen, problem most likely the logic board.
