Part of the Apple Hardware tests is a detailed test that exercises all the RAM. It took over an hour (16 GB) but didn't find anything wrong. I'd really like it to be the case that I can resurrect it for the price of a 2032 battery, but it will have to wait until I can find the time to take it apart. (Conversely, I'll be really pissed if it is the graphics board (costs about as much as a whole iMac on eBay...).) Thanks muchly. :-) Cheers, Scott.

If the Mac has something similar, that would be a surefire way to check the battery. If the clock is correct, the battery is doing fine. OTOH, if it thinks it is 02/24/1955, the battery is dead.

Fun with iMacs... - (Another Scott) - (8) - Jan. 29, 2019, 10:35:51 PM EST

Wow! Given the time and effort you've put into it, I'm amazed you didn't just go buy a new one. -NT - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - Jan. 29, 2019, 10:58:49 PM EST

It takes a long time to buy stuff at work. ;-) -NT - (Another Scott) - Jan. 29, 2019, 11:22:38 PM EST
