Q: Imac 27" won't boot and is getting very hot
Hey there,
My late 2009, 27" Imac won't boot anymore. It gets stuck on the white screen with the apple logo and the progress bar. It's also doing this when I'm booting in safe mode or recovery mode . I don't hear the fan but it's very hot on top.
I've also tried fsck -fy and got a "could not be verified completely" message.
I've had this problems for a couple of weeks but was always able to access recovery mode and restore from a time machine backup.
It is toast?
Thanks!
iMac, late 2009
