What could it be that makes this iMac not being able to turn on?
Hi,
I just bought that iMac for 20€. I assembled it and tried to turn it on. Here’s what I can tell you. The power button is broken. I tried shorting the cables to turn it on. All I get is the LED #1 to light up, never the second. I don’t have the PCIE SSD, no HDD and no internal display. I could just hook a HDD up. Every other part is there. The power supply is looking good and the logic board like day 1. What should I try to do?

So you gave us the end of the story... How about giving us the beginning. You bought a box of parts which you then assembled?
The more details might give us a clue on what's happening here.

Yup, found someone selling that. A box of iMac parts, all the 2012 27" model. He sold it for 20€ so I picked it up. I assembled all of the parts which are the logic board, CPU, RAM, power supply, speakers and fans into the iMac's housing and hooked it up to power. I must admit, the CPU pins looked a bit bent but it looks useable under the microscope and even I tried to bent it back in place. The only LED I'm able to see light up, is the first. Should I just dump the logic board or can a socket be fixed?
