Hi Chris:

I recently (last month) posted about my iMac with much the same symptoms as you describe....powers on, startup chime, HD starts to spin then a "klunk" like it is going to sleep....black screen....only mine was a green button (green button of death). Since I had purchased a 5 year warrantee on the machine (still one year to go), I took it in. They replace the deflection board first and that didn't seem to make it better, so they changed out the systems board (I am guessing the motherboard/logic board?). I have also read that people have had to replace the analog board.

When I found out that mine was called the "green light of death", I was able to find quite a few references to it via Google. I also saw references to the orange light......

Don't know if this is much help, but was my experience.....

Subject: Dead Rev A bondi

I've aquired a dead Rev A Bondi Blue iMac.

What it currently does is the following:

Powers on, Gives a normal Startup Chime.
Hard Drive spins up
Video never changes from black (doesn't sound as if the CRT ever charges)
Power button stays Orange
iMac does nothing else.
