Hello I have a imac G5 17" and it will not boot up.

Hello, I have a imac G5 17" and it will not boot up...... There isn't any chime when you turn it on and the led light will come and fade out a little but will stay on and the screen will stay black. Does any one have any suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix it?

The bottom of that article says to contact an authorized service technician. You may also find that simply replacing the PRAM battery (the coin shaped battery) helps. Note: if you have any capacitors that are labelled X on their top (as opposed to just K), you may have the problem of the leaking capacitors which required a power supply and/or logicboard replacement. The leaking capacitor was an industry wide problem.
