Ive got an 2006 iMac EMC-2111 today, and it doesnt want to boot. When I press the power button, leds 1,2 and 3 light up but not the fourth, I get no boot chime and the screen stays black. I have tested the RAM on another computer and it works fine.
It currently has no HDD installed, but I dont know if that would prevent the mac from booting. The pram battery was also replaced. I am currently installing os x 10.6.3 on a usb drive, maybe it would give me some sign of life when i plug it in?
Im totally new to repairing Macs as I have only used Windows machines my entire life, so I dont know what to do to get this iMac running again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
