I took apart my imac to upgrade it without issue. Upon putting it back together and plugging in the monitor to turn it on, nothing appears on screen. No beep either. The fan does turn on after a few seconds though.
At first I was getting the 5 second beep error for the ram. I reset the ram in the sockets and the beeping stopped, but nothing else happens. Before I take the machine apart again I thought I would check in the hive mind collective if anyone has any suggestions? I have tried resetting PRAM to no avail. Mouse has power. Tried FN+F2 to raise brightness to no avail. I am at a loss. The power board shows 2 green lights....Super frustrated. Could I have fried my logic board somehow? I don't smell anything nor did I hear anything when I turned it on. Anyway to know for sure? At a loss...maybe the CPU i replace it with was bad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
