Q: iMac sounds tone every 5 sec

iMac sounds tone every 5 sec when it is turned on; machine won't start up. 

Tried all the steps in "everythingMac" for "if your iMac won't turn on or start up"

 

iMac 20" early 2008

processor 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo

memory 4GB 800 MHz DDR@ SDRAM

operating system: up to date, but can't check because machine won't start!

 

Note I have NOT recently installed new memory (from everything Mac the 5 sec tone could happen if you've recently incorrectly installed new memory, but that is not the case here.

Problem is that is a 2 1/2 hr drive away!  So will book an appointment and make the trip.

Take your significant other with you and make a event out of it, dinner and a movie, etc.
