Went to work on the iMac DV 400 that won't recognize its HD. Tried
PRAM-zapping, tried Option-Command-Shift-backspace (forcing Mac to look
for other bootable volumes). No help.
Started the iMac in Target mode. My iBook complained when connected,
but Disk Utility at least saw it.
Tried disconnecting the internal CD-ROM. Still didn't boot from the HD,
so that's probably corrupted - hopefully not on a hardware level.
Reconnected the internal CD. Checked battery, pressed CUDA. No
different. Except now it won't start from a CD either, neither the
internal one nor an external firewire-burner. And no bong sound at
startup.
What's happening here? Is it possible that the FirmWare can get
corrupted? In that case, is there any way to ever make the machine boot
again?
