[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1621683, member: 56379"] Can't do it this way if you want to see the iMac's possible video output…the MacBook air does not have a "video in" port. The idea here is to see if the iMac's problem is just the iMac's display…or the iMac's graphics hardware/cable (the logic board). To narrow things down…we need to see if the iMac's video out is properly sending video to an external monitor. Without an external monitor…we cannot test this. All I can suggest is…maybe you can borrow an external monitor from someone. You will probably need a cable & video adapter as well. If you don't have access to an external monitor to test with. Then you either need to visit an Apple store for them to diagnose…or use the iMac as a doorstop. - Nick [/QUOTE]
