If it was the firmware problem then it wouldn't have booted at all. The analogue boards go all the time it seems. I would suggest you call Anthony at Computer Trade Centre to confirm this (he's the man in my opinion for hardware faults) and get a repair estimate.
If you do a google search for imac and analogue board failure you will get hundreds of hits and you will probably be able to decide for yourself after doing a bit of reading what to do next. Rob
