I was using it to deal with emails and the screen went black. I’ve restarted it a few times waiting hours before trying again, but no luck. The computer makes all the usual start up noises so appears to be working normally. Any ideas on what else I can try? Thanks. Best wishes Amer
If you have an old DVI or VGA monitor around, try plugging that monitor into the 2010 iMac using a MiniDisplay Port to DVI or VGA adapter.
It’s probably a good idea to start shopping for a new machine.
That machine isn’t worth the cost of fixing it.
You may be able to use an external monitor to get it running and back up your data if it’s not already backed up.
Failing that, you can remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure to connect to your new Mac and migrate the data.
