Hi
Sry on delay. Lost power from hurricane. iMac will now not start - I do hear the usual 2 tone electronic bizz buzz that precedes the startup bong. Kinda like it wants to but just can't.

I am loathe to buy a new iMac and would love to fix this guy.
I have previously replaced the power supply that went bad after a lightening surge.

Is this a good question?

Review these two Apple T/N's:
- About Mac computer startup tones
- About the screens you see when your Mac starts up
Can you give us a bit more detail based on these.

Hi fellas
Thx for your interest and info.
When I press the start button I hear the bizt buzt sound that precedes the startup bong tone.
No start up. If I press my ear to the iMac I can hear electronic hum. But that's it. No start up.
I'm capable of disassembly and replacing parts but advanced diagnostics and resoldering boards is beyond me.
Do I have the option of fixing my baby or am I done ?
