Q: iMac 20" won't boot past black screen
Hi guys,
Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem.
My iMac won't boot past a black screen. Before it would randomly restart and I would perform an SMC reset which would normally sort it.
It's old, probably 2008 model but I can't afford to replace it quite yet.
I've tried different power cables to no avail. PRAM doesn't work. I don't think it even gets to power the keyboard before trying to boot again.
I can hear the fans spin for a few seconds before I hear that click before it reattempts. It gets stuck in a loop before I have to remove the power cord.
It was working mostly fine until I created a new user login the other day.
Any thoughts?
Much appreciated.
