Sounds like the Logic Board. If it won't boot from CD that usually
indicates that the LB is having problems too.

Guys
21" intel iMac (White poly) failed during a clean install (preparing
to sell it...doh)
anyhoo...it went pop and smelled a bit funky
replaced the power supply, and now the iMac starts up, the white
light shines, the screen goes black....but then the light goes out
and the screen looses it black colour
i can hear the cd spin up a little bit, but it refuses to get into a
'boot' stage
ive tried whatever i can find....boot with the c key down
with the d key down to eject the disc
tried to zap the PMU/SMC
tried to boot with open firmware (option command o f)
nothing works
im thinking the hard drive is failed?
but y is it not booting from the cd?
