Guys 21" intel iMac (White poly) failed during a clean install (preparing to sell it...doh) anyhoo...it went pop and smelled a bit funky
replaced the power supply, and now the iMac starts up, the white light shines, the screen goes black....but then the light goes out and the screen looses it black colour i can hear the cd spin up a little bit, but it refuses to get into a 'boot' stage ive tried whatever i can find....boot with the c key down with the d key down to eject the disc tried to zap the PMU/SMC tried to boot with open firmware (option command o f) nothing works im thinking the hard drive is failed? but y is it not booting from the cd?
