To anyone who can offer advice,
I am trying to fix my parents 800 MHz ppc flat screen iMac. It all started with a simple software update that didn't complete, then the OS wouldn't boot, so I tried re-installing the OS and now it will NOT recognize the hard drive or the CD drive. I have tried re-setting the PRAM and changing the boot folder in the "bios". I am a reasonably seasoned Mac user and have seen many hardware issues, but I have absolutely NO idea what to do in this case. If anyone can offer advice (I've been perusing forums for a while and trying different snippets of wisdom that I could find, but anything is welcome) I would be most grateful. Even if you could offer someone to contact that would be excellent!
Thanks in advance,
