Chosen Solution

After you replaced the power supply, what are you getting on the diagnostic LEDs? Do you get a POST tone? ( the bong)

"LED Indication On Off"

"1 Main logic board"

"detects trickle voltage from the power supply."

"iMac is connected to a working AC power source. The LED will remain on even when the com- puter has been shut down or put to sleep."

"AC power source"

"is disconnected or power supply is faulty."

"2 Main logic board"

"detects proper power from the power supply when the computer is turned on."

"Computer is turned on"

"and power supply is working correctly."

"LED 2 will be off"

"when the computer is turned off or the power supply is working incorrectly."

"3 Communication exists"

"between computer and video card."

"Computer is communi-"

"cating properly with video card."

"If LEDs 1 and 2 are"

"on and you heard the startup sound, but LED 3 is off, video card may either be installed incorrectly or need replacement."

"4 Communication exists"

"between computer and LCD panel."

"Computer is turned on"

"and video signal"

"is being generated. If LED 4 is on and there is no display on panel, panel or"

"inverter may either be"

"installed incorrectly or need replacement."

"LED 4 will be off if"

"the computer is turned off or if no video signal is being generated."

"Front"

"Computer has power"

"but no video signal."

"Computer is starting"

"up or display has entered sleep mode, turning off the video signal."

"The front LED will"

"pulse when the entire system has entered Energy Saver mode."
