Hey all,
I am new here, so I hope to get some answers.
i took off the glass and then the LCD panel off my imac in order to get to the HDD.
i proceed to replace the existing hard-drive with a SSD to make it faster.
after replacing with SSD, i put everything back and plugged in the power.
i press the power button, and nothing happens...no fan noise and nothing.... nothing happens.

so i unplug and take everything apart again. i double check everything and all seems normal.
i plug the power back in and all that comes on is the green motherboard LED.
then i press the power button and still nothing happens.
i even tried resetting the ram slots and putting back the original HDD.

still no fans or activity.... just the green motherboard LED......

what did i do wrong?
