After long storage: Fans running, but NO startup chime or display.

My 2017 27" iMac had the logic board replaced just over 12 months ago. It was working fine after that. I moved overseas, and it went into shipping for 3 months. On getting it back about a fortnight ago, it would not start. Where I am currently stationed, there are no Apple Stores or approved Repairers.

SYMPTOMS

  • Power switch works, and fans come on.
  • No startup chime.
  • Nothing on display (remains black).
  • If I power it down by holding power button, it turns off, but then starts back up again after a few seconds. I have to remove power cable immediately it turns off to keep it off.

DIAGNOSTICS

  • I have removed the RAM. If I try to start it up without RAM, it produces the 'no RAM' beep, but symptoms remain the same.
  • I have removed the display screen. LED 1 lights up when power cable is plugged in. LED 2 lights up when I press the power button. Fans run high (as expected with no display). LEDs 3 & 4 do not light up.
  • There does not seem to be any obvious damage or poorly connected cables on the inside, although I have not yet taken off anything other than the display screen.

WAY AHEAD

  • I cannot replace the iMac, nor can I get one shipped to me, due to where I am currently deployed.
  • Is there a PRAM battery in these models that could possibly be drained down after 3 months unplugged? Could that cause the symptoms?
  • Is my only option to get hold of a new logic board and replace? Sadly, that is probably more expensive than the iMac is worth.

Thanks to anyone who has any helpful advice on what to do next.

It does sound like something is damaged on the Mac, so try some of the steps Apple recommends: if none of these steps work, you will probably have to find some way to repair it. I too live overseas, and I get how frustrating it is when a component brakes with no way to fix it.

Thank you. I have tried all of those before I took the screen off.

Hi Torbet,

According to your description, I think your iMac has a VGA problem. However, the VGA of this model is welded on the mainboard, with ordinary users, we can only replace other mainboard.

The order of LED lights is as follows:

1. LED 1: Power Supply.

2. LED 2: Mainboard.

3. LED 3: VGA.

4. LED 4: LCD.

You can also try with the minimum: disconnect all other connections such as HDD, wifi card, speakers. In addition, you should remove RTC Battery on the back of the mainboard and reinstall it after about 2 minutes.

Hope to help you.

Thank you. I will remove the logic board, which will mean disconnecting everything, and replace the RTC battery. It this changes nothing, I will try and find a replacement logic board.
