iMac Intel 20 inch EMC 2133 and 2210

Hey guys.

So i just got an old Imac 20" from 2007 and i just put in a new PSU and the 1 Led is ON. But i cant get light into the 3 others. I can hear the HDD go and the PSU humming very low. If i put a USB mouse in there is light in it. but my fans dont start. i got no picture ( just black ) i can hear the Cd case starts. Can someone help me ? do i really have to get a new Logic board :/ ?

Any luck with it? I have an A1224 that turns on LED 1,2,3 are on but no fan or display. The disk and turns on but keyboard does work. Seems it is failing to POST but since LED 1,2,3 are on; not sure what is the problem. I have checked the following using parts from a working iMac of the same kind:

1. LCD fine.

2. Graphic card fine.

3. Wifi/Bluetooth fine.

4. Power supply fine.

5. internal wiring fine.

6. Inverter is fine.

7. Fans are fine.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you still have a faulty power supply, where did the new one come from?

LED #1

Indicates that the trickle voltage from the power supply has been detected by the main logic board. This LED will remain ON whenever the iMac is connected to a working AC power source. The LED will remain on even when the computer has been shut down or put to sleep. The LED will turn off only if the AC power source is disconnected or the power supply is faulty.

LED #2

Indicates that the main logic board has detected proper power from the power supply when the computer is turned on. This LED will be ON when the computer is turned on and the power supply is working correctly.

LED #3

Indicates that the computer and the video card are communicating. This LED will be ON when the computer is communicating properly with the video card. If LEDs 1 and 2 are ON and you heard the startup sound, but LED 3 is OFF, then the video card might be installed incorrectly or need replacement.

LED #4

Indicates that the computer and the LCD display panel are communicating. This LED will be ON when the computer is turned on and video signal is being generated. If the LED is ON and there is no image on the LCD display panel, the LCD display panel or inverter might be installed incorrectly or need replacement.

PIN 1 - 2 -3 -4 -5

Off 0 - 0,1 - 0 - 2,6

ON 0 - 12.2 - 0.2 - 0

PIN 6 -7 - 8- 9 - 10
