White Screen Of Death

Hi all. Recently purchased an iMac A1224 and it had the white screen of death. None of the keyboard shortcuts worked except for PRAM reset. I have replaced the hard drive twice and still getting the same problem of the white screen when I would expect to at least see a question mark folder?

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks

What you have is an extremely old Mac that has been obsolete for man years. I hope you did not pay more the $20-$50 dollars for it as it is destined for the recycling bin. I suspect the main logic board has died which is the primary part of the computer. If it were mine, I would cut my losses and contact Apple Trade In - Apple to begin the recycling process. Apple will not offer you any money for it however they also will not charge you to recycle it and will pay for the shipping and include a shipping box.


Best of luck
