i have a imac emc2266
i recently came across a imac alumium 20 inch and the guy said it doesnt boot and doesnt chime
i have tried every setting and every test still nothing.T
The fans spin and the computer tries to boot
led 1and 2 are on but the logicboard doesnt have a third led
the computer will run a mouse but the keyboard will not power
i checked the logicboard it has a small burn mark
next to the audioboard
iMac, iMac a1224 QP91175H0TH non function
Walk, no run away from it...it's a money pit.
And your question is? You have a failed Logic Board.
There must be a way to fix a logicboard if apple charges a ton of money to fix a logicboard i need a challenge
i have heard that people have their logicboard reflowed at a shop i am curious if its possible
i see people all over youtube fixing logicboards with reflowing even to the extent of even baking it in the oven
Apple does not FIX logic boards. They replace it with a new one. Not sure if they even try to fix the board they take out to put a new one in.
If you have electronic repair experience and all the proper diagnostic hardware Have At It. Good Luck to you.
I doubt any of those have burn marks. something on that board has fried causing the burn mark. you could find the failed part and try to replace it but you never know what else failed at the same time or failed because of the fried part.

sorry they recycle the logicboard
if it was a failed logic board the computer shouldnt do nothing 2leds are green i put the os in the cd drive and it spins if i unplug that then the computers hd tries to work when i try to reset the computer by unplugging the power the fans go into kernal panic.
I think macs are great computers but i see people spending ungodly amounts of money to get them fixed when sometimes all it takes is replacing the cmos battery inside.If the mac is not working correctly people always reply its the logicboard.Then i hear well its a old computer then i tell them then why are you charging 400 dollars for a old logicboard.
imac has a burn mark on the logic board
