[thelist] iMac Toast?

[David Siedband]

The first things I would try are press the PMU reset and/or replace the  
PRAM battery on the logic board.

The next thing I would try is to switch out the power supply for  
another.

If that doesn't do it, time to get out your multi-meter and start  
testing for failed components.

Here's a good reference on the old school iMacs
