Hi Amanda,
This happened to me when I upgraded the hard drive on my 233 Bondi iMac. It
turned out in my case it was one of the connections.
I had not pressed down firmly enough on the mainboard when reseating it to
the plug underneath. After taking a few deep breaths I reseated the
mainboard and it was fine.
Hope this helps,
Grev
