Hi and thanks for all reading this post and willing to help
I ve got a mid 2007 Imac 24, 2.8GHZ, 4Gram and 500 Hd, with the ATI 2600 card.
After installing some software, got to reboot the mac and basically no light on the screen anymore, no start up sound , nothing.
Symptoms are
1) Black screen
2) I can hear the hd power up
3) I can hear the DVD1 starting but remains blocked
4) Keyboard is NOT recognized but works perfectly
5) Mighty mouse is well alive
-> so in cannot restart using keyboard, cannot do reset of pram, nvram , etc
I believe it's the ATI card that's faulty. Have you had those problems before that you're aware of , have you had your imac repaired under warranty with the same symptoms (no apple care but how can a machine 25 months old , top of the range die after only that time frame!!!!!)
The more I read on the web the more I tend to believe that there is a hidden fault with that machine. (produced october 2007 in Europe-)
How can I buy another ATI card or 8800 card (apparently it works with that one too)
The lowest cost is preferred... I can install that myself if necessary
Thanks for your help
