OT: The iMac is... dead.

[Rick Harrison]

Derek,

Definitely replace that Motherboard battery!

I believe it is probably just the standard 1/2 AA 3.6 volt lithium type
that you can get at Radio Shack, or elsewhere on the internet.

A machine which is usually on all the time and then gets powered
down for any reason such as being moved, power outage etc. will
many times appear to be dead.  It's just the PRAM doesn't understand
what it is supposed to do anymore because the motherboard battery
is dead.  Replace that battery!

Good luck!

Rick
