So, I have an i-mac (vintage 2010) that utilises the small wireless keyboard and a usb mouse.

The only sign of life is the green light flashing on the keyboard.

Having unplugged it during sleep mode it will not now power up. Coincidence maybe. I can confirm that power is coming through the power cable.

Nothing played with - Original OS system...... etc.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks and Regards,

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Try an SMC reset.

Thanks Barry,

I looked up SMC and followed the instructions, based on the machine being 'dead', as follows:

Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve

Still no signs of life though.

If you are close to one, take it into an Apple store for diagnosis (free, the repairs are not).
