Display not turning on after ram upgrade
Hello. I recently opened up my iMac 13,1 21.5" late 2012 to upgrade the ram as well as exchange the HHD with SSD. When I put everything back together and try to boot up all I hear is the chime but the display does not turn on. Any suggestions before I open it up again? Thanks.

Update: I took the iMac to a Mac repair shop here in Austin. They said I most likely shorted out the logic board installing the new ram. Apparently iMacs don't like being upgraded. The shop won't even upgrade the ram because of this. So now I sit here with a dead computer, an SSD, and new ram that are totally worthless. Thanks OWC!

@gr8fl4295 - Derick, I feel your pain here! Sadly, these systems are just a bear to open and not forgiving for any mistakes.
I use a lot of OWC stuff with no problems! So I don't think they stuck it to you. On the other-hand I've kicked my self for a dumb move which killed a system I was working on ;-{ We all make mistakes.
I still think you can get your system back but it may require more parts. Are you game to try to resurrect it?

See if you can connect your system to an external display like your TV using a DisplayPort (ThunderBolt) to HDMI adapter.
