You're welcome. I work on a lot of iMacs. The no-chime symptom usually is an 
indication that your PRAM battery is weak, particularly if the iMac's been 
unplugged for a while. Check the battery with a voltmeter and replace with a 
new one if it's below the voltage printed on the battery (3 V or 2.6 V).
