I have one (well... now almost 2) iMac's 2011 21,5". I bought the first one with windows running on it due to a faulty GPU. So i decided to make it run like a charm and also make some upgrades.
I've bought a WX4150 4GB and 32gb of compatible ram 1333 mhz, but in the first build i kindda broke a capacitor on my new GPU, got electrocuted and made the PSU smoke a little. [br]
[br]
So i ordered: a new MOBO, GPU and PSU. Put everything together carefully, but only DX LED 1 lights up. I have another identical iMac that i bought trying to use the better looking case, so i have 3 mobos, 2 PSUs, and basically spare parts for everything else.[br]
+
I've tried:
* Booting with and without mobo battery
* Using both CPUs (were working on windows)
* Replacing power cables (outlet-psu and psu-mobo)
* Booting with and without RAMs (with originals and the ones i boght)
* 2 power buttons (were working on windows) and jumping power pins
* With and without SSS/HD

I know ill have to flash my GPU, but i dont know if my DX LEDs should only light 1st one before this flash happens. Can someone help me please?
Tomorrow ill get a macbook borrowed in case any solution needs some bootable made from a mac (whis is my plan for the headless flashing aswell)
