iMac A1311
I just got an iMac from a neighbor moving, when i turn on the computer, the screen stays black then the chime plays and after about 5 sec the fans kick in at full speed and stay at that speed.
I did the most common steps for resetting and nothing, also checked the ram and no luck. Next step i took was to open the computer looked for any loose connections also nothing, the 4 LED status lights are all on too.
Thanks. Appreciate any help.
