[QUOTE="Richard, post: 54650"] Recently I bought a faulty IMac. On turn on it chimed once and turned of immediatly. So I took the b ack cover off and took the logic card out, which had apple info about this IMac, Model CR-175-0, Manufatured Apr 1999 Took the metal shield that coversthe SODIMM memory and re-inserted the memory. Put the IMac back togethger and turned it on a few seconds after the chime I heard it accessing the HD. I didn't see anything because the screen was blank, but stayed on for as long as I left it. I then found there is a Video Connector on the main board and a small card next it. So I re-installed that. Now on turn on it chimes, begins to access the HD and then turns off. Questions, As I took the screws out that I found hold the CD-ROM in place by mistake and then adjusted the position of The CD to the place it was could that action have disturbed the HD IDE cable, power lead? Should this be my next state of proccedear? From Richard. [/QUOTE]
