No chime, LED 1 and 2 on. No others illuminated.

My late 2015 iMac A1419 (EMC 2834) went black a few days ago. I removed the display and see the first two led lights on but not 3 and 4. I do NOT hear any chime but the fans spin up at high speed. I’ve tried an external display and get nothing. I’ve tried PRam reset and I’ve tried removing ram sticks. Same thing every time, no chime, lights 1 and 2 on, nothing else. Any ideas?

No chime, LED 1 and 2 on. No others illuminated.

I got this error. I do it this way:

Press and hold the SHIFT button and then press the POWER. The iMac will start up with a sound and screen. Good luck. Chúc may mắn!

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.

Thank you, although mine is not making any chime. What does that indicate?

Thank you but this doesn't solve my problem. I understand the order of the LED's but I don't know what is causing my 3rd LED to not light up

If that problem happened with no reason, your diagnostic leds are saying that there is a problem with your video card or display, you said that you already tried connecting a external monitor and i cant see anything, ending with a VIDEO CARD FAILURE .
