Okay, so I bought 2 crap iMac's off eBay, 1 is the lowest iMac G5 ever made, the otherr is the highest. I the lower shows the 2 green LEDS and no signal for the display. The second is the same. I have given them their respectivly correct memory, clean and hoovered the insides, tried on multiple occasions to clear the Pram, and reset SMU, on both using my Alu apple keyboad. I have put a 250gb he in them , and although it is still an so drive, I just wanna see some screen .

The higher iMac is also make very loud fan noise, while the smaller has no fan action at all.

What can I do tiger them working again??!!

Good luck. You are basically working on a notebook.

Did you know they were non working when you purchased them?
 
Well, they work, it's the display, it won't come on . Yes I knew they had problems when I bought them...

I need the display to work. Then the rest can follow,
 
Looked into it, and still nothing works. Tried everything!!

What could i do now, other than bin them?

Send them my way? ;) But your best bet is selling them on ebay for parts.. To me it sounds like they have a bad logic board and those can be pricey.
