To respond to your questions thus far:
1. I haven't tried replacing the PRAM battery in the iMac yet.
Might replacing the PRAM battery really have much chance of
repairing my problem? I tried replacing the PRAM battery in my
PowerMac G3 (beige) while attempting to get an OS X 10.2 install
disk to boot, with no luck.
2. I tried the DV with a monitor which was once used with a
Supermac clone. The power light never changed from amber to green,
telling me that no power was getting to it. I'll be trying the iMac
with an old NEC MultiSync monitor a bit later on tonight, to see if
it acts any differently. One thing I noticed was, while trying to
boot from a CD with the Supermac's monitor attached, trying to
eject the CD by holding down the mouse button (which typically
works) was causing the computer to power down.
A further question: might this possibly be due to OS X having been
installed on it without updating the firmware? I've heard about
that causing blank screen issues, but with the HD making noises,
I'm not sure. Also: one thing I noticed when trying numerous key
commands was some mild flickering of the LED behind the power
button. Might this indicate power supply issues? Once again, thanks
in advance.

Hello everyone. I recently picked up a iMac DV which was described
as having a hard drive problem.
Have you replaced the PRAM battery? I've resurrected many a "dead"
imac simply by replacing the battery.
