Yesterday my IMac was working fine, then today I went to turn it on and the screen is black and there is no audio. The light indicating the computer is on, is on (solid not pulsing). I put the start up disk in (which I can now not eject) and it sounds like it is doing something in there.
I tried turning it off, unplugging, holding the power key for 5 seconds then plugging in and turning back on. This doesn't help.
I also tried holding down command-option-P-R while turning it on, and that doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas?
I know I should just bring it in, but that means driving 4 hours and I really don't have the money to bring it in either.
I am hoping (though not very confidently) that there is some sort of magical fix.
OH one more note, I have a 6 month old who likes to bang on the keyboard while I am trying to work on the computer, could he have change some setting?
