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).

No cord ? I do not know what G Mac needs one but replacements are easily found. http://mdg.ext.msstate.edu/small_engine_parts_id/external_images/starter_rope.jpg -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

If the memory doesn't pass the test there's a different 'breaking glass' sound and the system does not continue booting. The OP's problem is that the startup chime has been silenced, not that the memory (and other things, the Mac's startup sequence tests other parts of the hardware before issuing the startup chime.) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: No cord at start up.
Greetings Bruce, The startup chime is meant to indicate that the boot prom has run a quick and dirty memory test on the installed memory and the test has passed. If there isn't a chime the memory didn't pass the test. Therefor you should obtain a copy of Memtest. Download Memtest The testing setup isn’t terribly complex; I’ve taken the liberty of putting together an installable package which will put the Memtest utility into your /usr/bin/ folder. Memtest is a Unix command-line program that does the memory testing, and is the Mac equivalent of MemTest86.

Can someone help me. Thanks Bruce Hazzard You are referring to the start-up chime or bong, correct? I've had Macs that didn't have an audible bong at start-up and I never did figure out why. But I never had any problems with my non-bonging Macs so I didn't obsess over it. There are also some apps that let you set the start-up bong to be silent, perhaps someone has done that along the way?
