My brother pushed my iMac off the table recently and now it wont startup.
i took the back cover off to examine it and it all looks fine. When the power button is pressed a yellow LED lights up on the main logic board.
My question is, what else do you think it could be? i know the CRT must be gone, so i was planinng to use the VGA port for video. If its the down controler board, how do i test if its working or not?
