Hello all:
I've had lightning come in on my slot loading imac dv+'s modem. I
stripped it down to the motherboard and took off the modem and there
is some apparent blackening on the modem making it obvious that the
damage came in there. I closely examined the rest of the motherboard
and there isn't any obviously blown circuitry. I removed the modem
and reassembled the machine, but it's still dead as a doornail.
Pushing the power button produces nothing. I also tried pressing the
reset button on the side of the machine where the other ports are
located. Any ideas what might be blown and how to go about testing
it?

For the price of a replacement on the lem swap list, I wouldn't bother.
If the machine took a direct hit, the whole thing could be baked,
boiled, and fried. Not to mention roasted, toasted, and pan seared.
Hmmm... Must be lunch time...
Anyway, by the time you get done testing & replacing bad parts, you'll
likely have spent more than what they're selling for used. If your
drive isn't fried, you might even be able to swap drives with the
replacement and be up & running reasonably quickly.
Good luck.
