[QUOTE="whandler, post: 1369955, member: 238049"] The imac is about 2 years old, 20" A1244. It gets as far as making the apple chord in the boot sequence and then does not get past the grey screen. I have tried to netboot, grey screen hold down c to boot form a dvd, grey screen I have tried the option key with a bootable external drive attached. I have tried safe mode verbose mode single user mode I get nothing. From my limited understanding the apple chord means it has passed basic hardware tests, so if it was just a problem with the hard drive some of the things I tried should have worked no? Any suggestions would be most welcome. If I have to I will send it in for repair, but it is always a toss up when the repair expense is so high. Will [/QUOTE]
