@boosting21 That is definitely a power supply problem!

Great video!! very helpful. Im wondering; would it be possible to use the iMac 24 intel (2007-2009) as a standalone monitor? If you leave the power supply to power the monitor, and use a DVI to LVDS converter from an external video card for the video signal.

Appreciate any input.

@phils137 Thanks! I don't see why it would not work, Although I myself have never tried that particular setup. I still have that iMac I will try myself and post the results.

@Loustechworld the only p\problem if finding a converter card, most are wholesale/bulk companies, or overseas. :(

it was the hard drive.. after i took it apart and powered it up the drive made no noise whatsoever so i plugged another drive in and powered it up and got the hard drive powering up sound,,, so i replaced it and it, did the ol partition and format of the drive plus install the os.. which took a while to find.. rockin sox again...

thanks for the response - hmm the monitor on my sister's imac will not come on except on some random occasions for about 5 seconds. The Hard drive works though and it will load up to the OS without the screen being on.

[RoberTastic]

how did you diagnose that the power supply needed replacing?

[Loustechworld]

Imac had no power whatsoever, no screen light power lights or hard drive sound. I checked for power at the cable and found i was receiving power. Determined power supply as culprit.
