It's dead. Give it a decent burial. It is not worth the cost of repair.
It had a good life. Now, let it move on by recycling it responsibly.
Good luck. Hopefully, you've been making regular backups.
The best case scenario is you might be able to remove the hard drive and put it into a caddy with a USB interface so that you can plug it into your next computer and recover any data you need if you haven't been making regular backups.
The 2006 iMac is obsolete. Apple doesn't service them any more. Parts might be available, but based on your description of what happened, you're much better off just getting another computer altogether.

There is no "fixing" that computer.
I try open it and while I was fix and I was work but I accidentally had it plug in while I was work and I took logic board out and accintall had the head sink touch the power supply while it on and it explode again on fire and had to douse it with water and now the power supply blackish so I don't know what to do and the hard drive also caught on fire since it was next to it and the area around it all fire a bit and I need fix this computer because It my favorite one and only one
No it not work that way. I'm trying open it up to fix because I have all my school work and game files on it that I cannot lose
What, exactly, is Apple Support going to do for someone with a 2006 iMac that went up in smoke?
Hi KiltedTim. You may wish to take a look at this user's profile. We may be being trolled.
That's what it smells like to me.
If you never made backups for old iMac, you on your own. Nobody can help you.
