Re: Power Problem Ruby iMac

[Matt Phillips]

No, I did not try to boot off the system cd, because there is no 
power to the iMac at all.  nothing. no ring/bong/chime. no sounds of 
a hard driving starting up. nothing. I hit the power button, and it 
looks back at me a laughs.  no green light, no yellow light, no light 
at all. It would be the same as if you pulled the power cord out of 
the back of the computer and tried to start it that way. there is no 
power at all.

There has been nothing added, either hardware or softwear to this 
computer in about 3 months, when I got a new printer, so I had to 
load up the printer drivers.  Everything has worked fine, no problems 
at all.  It has been turned off before for a few days when I've been 
out of town, so it isn't like it hasn't been turned off before.

I guess it could something with the power system going into the 
computer, but I was hoping it would be something simple, that I could 
try and fix.

Hey there everyone
Well, my problem is this: I usually keep the iMac on all the time, 
however there was a problem staying conneted with the internet 
yesterday, so before going to bed I turned it off.  This morning, I 
hit the power button, the green light lit up, got a quick degauss 
'thunk' and then the power light went off.  Now I get nothing at 
all when hitting the power button.  I am still using 9.2.2, and 
have had no problems with it.  1 gig of ram, and haven't installed 
anything new on it.  I've unplugged and plugged back in the power 
cord. And that is the end of my expertise.  What is wrong with my 
iMac?

Matt
