hello all... it's been ages since i've been on here. life takes you in different directions than you expect lol.
anywho, i recenty was given a 2005 Emac and was in the process of reinstalling 10.5.6 and updating it to 10.5.8. i walked away from the mac to do other things while it downloaded patches, updates and security updates and when i returned to continue and finish things the monitor was off and wouldn't come back on moving the mouse.
no worries, i just held the power button to turn it off then waited about a minute and hit the power button. i hear the "booong" sound and i see the white light on the front by the cd slot and i hear the fan... but nothing ever appears on the screen.
ive been doing my due diligence looking up what the issue could be. and it seems the common issue with some models was the IVAD cable. but it sounds like the HDD isn't working.... but would that cause the picture to not show up ? would it not just show the question mark and folder icon ? i'm totally stumped as it was working when i got it and only when i went to wipe and reinstall the OS did this happen.
sorry for the run on sentences as im googling if anyone else had the same issue or remedy.
