Hi, I need help for my sister's imac.
She have an imac intel 20" 2Ghz core 2 duo, with 512 Mb Ram since april-may 2006.
She had no trouble with her imac until february 2008 when she had to unplug it from the wall to move some furnitures. After plugging it back, the imac didn't turn on. It just did nothing, like if it was unplugged.
At that time, I've searched on the net and found some basic troubleshooting from apple website and I had her to remove and reinstall RAM. That worked one time but the problem came back one day after.
Then she took her imac to an apple store and as it always happen, it didn't show any problem there. She took it back to home and since today, the problem never occured again.
Today, she installed a new power bar, so she had to disconnect her imac. After making the change, the imac refuse to turn on. She waited about an hour and then she was able to turn it on.
Her imac is out of warranty and apple ask her an insane amount of money (about 400-500$) to analyze and repair her imac.
Is that a common problem ? Is there something I can do with her imac ?
thanks for your help !
