Could you provide the serial number of your iMac 24"?
a team member has a iMAc24" too, and apparently everything is fine for him, we could look at serial, because I think it might explain some things out there. |

My iMac s/n: W86361TXVGN Spec is: 2.16MHz/1GB/7300GT I contacted Applecare today, I already knew what the answer would be ("don't know sir"). I was indeed correct. I did point out the recent posts and forums dedicated to this issue but speaking to the front line staff is a waste of time, I would like to speak to the developers! Can we possibly setup a database to store s/n of affected iMacs? I believe this issue only occurs on units that were purchased shortly after the 24" model was released as I had one of the first units my supplier managed to get hold of. James. |

James. you can start collecting the serial from this topic, there is not problem with that: simply get the serials as a quote and add yours: something like: QUOTE Not working iMac:

Same problem here. Haven't tried to boot from Mac OS X DVD, I hope mine isn't broken as I can read in the topic
