Our family iMac has the white screen of death. Half the time it stays white. Half the time it'll show a small folder icon with a question mark.
Resetting by powering off and holding key combinations hasn't worked. It won't boot to disc to allow a reset, or even show the boot menu. Leaving it unpowered without peripherals for 3 hours had no effect.
Even when booting into target mode, other computers can't find it through a firewire.
Any ideas on getting it to work again, or even recovering our files?
Thanks, any help is appreciated
