My imac model A1418 splashed with food on screen by my young son. I wetted a wash cloth and wipe it off several time. After that everytime try to start it, the imac beeps with 5 second interval. I like to know the problem. Thanks
iMac, iOS 8.4.1
Not a good sign. Unfortunately repair may cost more than the machine is worth. Maybe your homeowners insurance can pay for the damages. Never let food near a computer.

Thanks for reply. That gives me a start to right direction.
It's possible that you jostled it around and unseated the ram while trying to clean it. An easy thing to try is reseating the ram.
