iMac Intel 2 Core Duo 2006, shutdown, won't boot?!

[Crown16]

Hi all,

My faithful Imac appears to have given up. Yesterday I tried to boot but it would go on, I thought I heard a little sound but that went away after the 4th try. I have tried a different power cord, checkt the sockets everything works. Just the Imac itself that doesn't budge. Any routine things I should check. Never opened it up before.

Thanks in advance for any help

Ive opened it up to check on the diagnostic lights, as none of them light up on AC power I can assume the power supply is broke, however the best offer for a replacement part i can find costs me 119 bucks, I feel its total loss...

If no lights are on and you have confirmed power at the wall then it sounds just like the powersupply. 115.00 is a cheap fix. I paid 150.00 for mine.
