Its could be 7 or 8 yrs old. Very seldom I use it. It just would not turn on, no sound, nothing. I did what you told me and still nothing. Black screen. Will take it for repair. Thank you for your help.
Hi, what year is your iMac? Do you have internet? Shut off your iMac. When you turn it on press n hold command+R keep holding till you see world or recovery screen.
