[QUOTE="nko, post: 10495"] Good news! My iMac's problem has been identified. I got a call yesterday noting that the problem seemed to be that the main board (whatever that doohicky may be) wasn't recognizing the RAM (gee, those CompUSA guys sure know their lingo! There's just soooooo much to computers!). So they were kind enough to not only tell me they figured out why it wasn't working, but they also went ahead and told me the reason! It sounded oh-so technical. Wait a second. It also sounded familiar. It sounded.... sounded a lot like.... wait a minute, that's what I told them 10 days ago. Why did I even get a call? All they had to do was plug the thing in and listen to the three ear-offending beeps the machine makes. They're truely obnoxious and VERY loud. And it only takes a power cord, a push of a button, and about 2 seconds of your time. But it'll be okay. Today or tomorrow, my replacement part should arrive in the mail from Apple (I'm assuming it's coming from Apple, seeing as I'm somewhat self assured that CompUSA carries PC-133 sticks of RAM). Best of all, my service is free! Seriously, though, it happens I'm looking for computer certifications to go for, and I was seriously considering getting a cert from Apple to repair Macs. After this incident, it's looking ever-more lucrative. Does anyone know if being an Apple Tech allows you to diagnose and repair your own computer? [/QUOTE]
