I have a 2011 21.5” iMac which I won't turn on. A friend of mine did a check and it was not the powersupply or the power on button. He says the board does not get power. I have no experience of electronics, but maybe it is just better to buy a new board and try to see if i can save the iMac. The screen is old but very nice. [br]

I Google iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2428 Logic Board and I got an used one in eBay for 35 USD and another in Amazon by Odyson on around 90 USD. The one on eBay is to be working and the one in in Amazon has really bad reviews. It comes without the PRAM battery. Somehow, those brands or eBay users do not give me too much confidence. I found another Mac Store in Canada but is asking for 230 USD which is out of the question.[br]
