[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 404980"] Just follow the instructions at Apple's site (the link I posted). The working computer being the [I]Host computer[/I], the broken one being the [I]Target computer[/I]. Mind you, I've never tried this before, but hopefully it can work. Just pop in the working computer's optical drive the broken iMac's Hardware Test CD (this could be confusing: in some previous Mac models, the Hardware Test was on its own CD, some other Mac models have the Hardware Test on one of the CDs or DVDs that came in the kit with the Mac) and once you get the broken Mac in Target Disk mode, try to launch the Hardware Test from the working Mac and ask the diagnostic software to check the hardware components on the broken iMac. Let us know if it works and what the results are. If not, report back anyway: maybe someone else has other ideas. [/QUOTE]
