Here's how to replace your failed power supply: iMac Intel 27" EMC 2546 Power Supply Replacement

You'll need the replacement adhesive strips: [linked product missing or disabled: IF174-005]

This power supply is comparable but out of stock: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/iMac-27-Po...

Apple Part #:

661-7170

Manufacturer Part #:

ADP-300AF T

UPDATE 7/5/16

LED 1 - Indicates that the trickle voltage from the power supply is detected by the main logic board. This LED will remain ON while the iMac is connected to the AC power. 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 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.

Please examine your logic board for burns,especially around the leads into your USB port before spending any money. If you have burned it out (and it could be just that one port), if a logic board replacement is involved the cost of repair may be higher than what the machine is worth. Normally the logic board is not involved in a power supply failure but yours may have been.
