I upgraded my MacBook Pro and iMac to max out the memory and install SSDs in each. The memory upgrade was easy, and went without a hitch. Likewise, the SSD (Crucial M4 512GB) worked like a charm in the MBP, though I have yet to address Bootcamp, Parallels, and my Windows installation.
The iMac, not so much. Following all of the available online guidance, I was still rewarded with a stylish boat anchor. The iMac will not power up at all: no clicks, whirrs, buzzes, anything. I've rechecked connections, and even tried the original hard drive configuration. I've tried different power outlets, resetting the SMU, removing and reinstalling the RAM, all to no avail.
I suspect the power supply, but do any Mac gurus know of anything else I might be missing? I can't find a fuse anywhere. It's a late-2008, 20" model, 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo, model A1224, MB342LL/A, 6GB RAM.
BTW, does anyone know if there is any sort of safety interlock that keeps the machine from powering up unless the case is completely reinstalled?
Thanks!
