Hello All, I'm afraid of what the answer will be, but I thought I would ask anyway. I have the first Intel iMac (20" Display, Core Duo, 2GB of maxed out RAM). The HD failed, so I bought a new one. I watched a few videos on Youtube, then cracked the computer open. When I lifted the monitor, I pulled the ribbon out of the back of the screen. I couldn't get it back in. The metal 'clip' came off and wouldn't go back on. The clip broke so I threw it away. I forced the ribbon into the port. So, the hard drive was replaced, the ribbon was forced back into place (and taped down with electrical tape) and I put everything back together. Now the screen alternates between black, gray, red, green and blue. The boot up sound is normal.
So, the question is whether this is a retrievable error or is the iMac a loss?
