Right, in an attempt to resurect this dead/injured iMac I've just bought I have:
- Fitted my iMac 400DV hard disk - Fitted known good RAM (I bought it without HD & RAM) - Reset the PRAM - Done an Open Firmware reset - Reset the CUDA - Changed the IDE cable - Tried with only the HD connected - Tried with only the CDRW connected - Pressed Option for a boot disk screen but nothing appears.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be wrong?
What normally goes wrong with this iMac? Is there a known weakness where something fails ?
The seller is a bit of a second hand PC dealer and was not the owner as such, must have bought it at the same time as a bunch of PCs or something...
With that evidence I'd say 90% sure the ATA circuitry has died somewhere.
