You have a lot of options. The best one is to take that Logic board out and put it into another iMac that has an active system folder on the HD. Then update the firmware there. Another thing that I do all the time (I'm a Service Tech) in the shop is pull the Ram, try to boot it (allow it to fail), and then put a different Dimm in the machine. For whatever reason that will allow the firmware update to proceed (for whatever reason). What you should NOT do is hit the CUDA or zap the PRAM in this situation. That makes it much harder to complete this procedure. Kyle H.
