[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1704255, member: 56379"] Firstly this computer DOES turn on…per the details on the quote. Thus the thread title of "iMac won't turn on" is not correct. Small details like this are very very important when trying to diagnose & evaluate a situation.:) If I'm understanding things correctly. This iMac does turn on…and what it's not doing is fully booting to the desktop as normal. If this is correct…then: - Do you hear the "Happy Mac" startup sound when the computer is first turned on (Bonggg)? - Does the iMac's display light up (illuminate)? - If the display does light up…do you see anything on the display for the time that the display stays illuminated (any icon's, messages, etc.)? - When you inserted your Snow Leopard DVD…did you press the "c" key immediately…which tell's the computer to boot from the CD? If not…give it a try. Will attempt to proceed further when answers are received. - Nick [/QUOTE]
