I managed to enter the commands, but I still can't restart, only shutdown then powering the machine back on works. Weird... :|
Also, the iMac has 4 chords connected to the main board. One is power, the other is for the buttons and infrared port in front, one is video (15 pin) ... what is the 4th one, looking like an S-Video connector? Thanks for any help!
