Hey everyone, I just picked up a used iMac (2007 model, 20") for cheap and the sucker won't boot. The first time I plugged it in, I got the chime and a white loading screen, then nothing. Black screen, but I can still hear the fan and hard drive. I've swapped out the ram with modules I know work, and still nothing. Anything you can suggest?
 
I don't think the hard drive is the source of the problem. If that were the case, an error would still be displayed on the screen. The 4th led service light is off, indicating it may be a problem with communication to the screen.
