Hi,
I have a graphite 400dv Imac. my imac has been down for a few months now. It started by freezing up on me. one day it just decided not to start up.
Mmm, sounds a bit sick.
when i turn it on i see a file folder icon in the middle of the screen. Inside this folder it flashes alternatly the mac face and a question mark.
Flashing question mark means that the Mac is unable to find a System Folder. (What OS do you have installed?)
Also there is a cd in the cd rom that i am not able to remove.
There are a few things you can try for ejecting the CD. One is to hold the mouse button down on start-up, but I don't know if this will work in your current situation. (Will have a better chance of working after you have found a System Folder.)
many people have said that there is a pinhole that when pushed will release it.
Don't know about this, on that model.
i have removed the cd rom completely and cannot find anything like this.
?? Removed the drive assembly from the machine, you mean?
What happens when you try re-setting PRAM? (Apple/Option/P/R/ at start-up.)
Mary
