My '07 era Mac wouldn't start up, so I ran the hardware test. The result came up as 4M0T/1/40000003:HDD-1341. What does this mean and how do I fix it?
iMac 8,1
Intel Core 2 Duo
Speed: 2.66
Cash 6MB
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
A "4MOT" error is a cooling fan, in your case the fans that cools the hard drive (from the "HDD-1341" part).

However, please note it requires some special tools for disassembly and has a lot of fiddly steps. If you do not feel up to the task, remember that Apple Stores don't work on products more than about five years old so you will need to find an independent Apple tech who still services older models.
