Pull the cover off the bottom. Remove the internal video cable. Plug in an external monitor. If it starts, you have a bad flyback transformer most likely. If it doesn't, bad power supply.

I have an original Bondi iMac with major problems.  It started with an
occasional rapid clicking, and now won't power up.  When I press the power
button, it chimes, then after a few seconds I get a few of those rapid
clicks and it shuts right down.  Sound like the power supply, or something
else?  Thanks,

Charles
