Hi fellas,
My friend recently gave me his iMac, said that if i could fix it I could keep it. :)
The problem with this is that the screen doesnt turn on. When I power it on, I hear the fans running, the startup sound is there but the screen doesnt turn on.
Any ideas on how to begin diagnosing this issue? I have yet to connect it to another screen to see if that works but aside form that is there any other way for me to begin fixing this?
Also I bought a power cord from fry's and was wondering if i have to use a power cord from Apple or does any power cord work. (on the box it said for windows and macs.)

appreciate the help!
