[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1624265, member: 46727"] To the OP: That machine is still a good useful computer. It sounds like the hard drive died or is defective which means a hard drive swap should get it running again. There are good instructions for removing the front panel and changing out the drive at [url]www.ifixit.com[/url]. You can even replace that hard drive with a SSD, add some more memory to the iMac and really give that machine a boost. Of course it's up to you, but I certainly would not write it off and use it as an extra display. [/QUOTE]
