John. My Intel iMac was the first model. A 1.83Ghz Core Duo 17".
About six weeks ago the machine stopped recognising the internal hard drive. Didn't even pick there was a drive physically connected. Then about two weeks ago the machine stopped working altogether. It would turn on and within seconds turn off again. If I reset the SMC the machine would power on with the fans on full pelt, but nothing else.
