You may have seen my other post where I talk about swapping out the displays from an 8,1 imac to a 7,1 well I went ahead and swapped over the screens ( and while at it the dvd drive too as the 2008 was a bit better)
so first of all I put back together the 'bad' mac (with the fans spinning and suspected bad logic board).
I fired it up and still with the fans spinning she booted up fine straight into Yosemite albeit with a slightly yellowy screen so I was happy at this point...
This is where it goes wrong
So then I reassembled my 7,1 with the odd and display from my 8,1 that id swapped...
Now it doesn't boot or chime, just the fans spin at a slow speed I only have 3 leds of the 4 lit as well
I then read online this could be a psu fault... its not as I stole that from the otherone to test...
Im at a real loss as to what to do now from having two decent imacs less than a week ago I have none any help would be great?
