[QUOTE="cenzo989, post: 1811794, member: 401640"] Hey all, I am new here, so I hope to get some answers. i took off the glass and then the LCD panel off my imac in order to get to the HDD. i proceed to replace the existing hard-drive with a SSD to make it faster. after replacing with SSD, i put everything back and plugged in the power. i press the power button, and nothing happens...no fan noise and nothing.... nothing happens. so i unplug and take everything apart again. i double check everything and all seems normal. i plug the power back in and all that comes on is the green motherboard LED. then i press the power button and still nothing happens. i even tried resetting the ram slots and putting back the original HDD. still no fans or activity.... just the green motherboard LED...... what did i do wrong?
