It would be a good idea to try with a keyboard plugged in but the flashing folder with a ? On it usually means that it cannot find an operating system. Try to restore your system if you still have the discs.

You could be looking at a failed hard drive and that’s why your iMac cannot find the operating system. It would be a good idea to try to recover your data.
