As of now the screen wont light

Hi, I know it's 2022 already, but I have this iMac 2010 27 and I was able to make it run recently. First I broke the screen ribbon cable port on the board while upgrading it to ssd.. but a friend tech was able to solder a new port/connector on that so it was running for a few weeks until the screen started to flicker.. as of now the screen wont light so I assumed that the ribbon cable should be replaced so I did but it didnt work. Good thing I was able to setup a teamviewer before the screen died so I can still connect to the iMac remotely. Yeah, it is still booting but no display. So right now I do not know which one is the issue might be the graphic card or the led power supply? Maybe someone can help me how to find out. Thanks!

AnySports Flix lets start with the easy stuff. In your computers case it's LED 4 we are most interested in.

Diagnostic LEDs

The iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) computer has four built-in diagnostic LEDs on the main logic board that can help you to troubleshoot the computer. The LEDs are located on the bottom left edge of the logic board (under a piece of black mylar tape) and can only be seen when looking through the lower vents of the enclosure. Refer to the next page for a close up graphic of the troubleshooting LEDs.

LED #1

• Indicates that trickle voltage from power supply has been detected by logic board. This LED will remain ON whenever the iMac is connected to a working AC power source. The LED will remain ON even when computer has been shut down or put to sleep. The LED will remain OFF only if the AC power source is missing or disconnected , if the logic board is disconnected from the power supply, or if the power supply board is faulty.

LED #2

• Indicates that the main logic board has detected proper power from the power supply when the computer is turned on and that logic board voltage regulators are functioning properly. This LED will be ON when the computer is turned on and the power supply should be working correctly.

LED #3

• Indicates that the computer and the video card are communicating. This LED will be ON when the computer is communicating properly with the video card. If LEDs 1 and 2 are ON and you heard the startup sound, but LED 3 is OFF, then the video card might be installed incorrectly or need replacement.

LED #4

• Indicates that the computer and the LCD panel are communicating. This LED will be ON when the computer is turned on and video signal is being generated. If the LED is ON and there is no image on the display, then the LCD panel, the LED backlight board, or the cables between might be installed incorrectly or need replacement.

LED Startup Sequence

LED #1 = Power available.

If no LED is visible:

• Verify AC power source

• Verify known-good AC cable is connected

• Verify cable connection between AC inlet and power supply

• Verify cable connection between power supply and logic board

• Verify power supply

LED #1 + LED #2 = Power available, and system is powered on.

If second LED is not visible when power button is pressed:

• Verify power button connection to logic board

• Verify power button functionality

• Verify cable connection between power supply and logic board

• Verify power supply

• Verify logic board

LED #1 + LED #2 + LED #3 = Power available, system is powered on, and video card found.

If third LED is not visible after power on:

• Verify that the MXM video card is seated properly

• Verify if boot chime is present and fans are running when powered ON (reset SMC

and PRAM, check backup battery if necessary for proper boot up):

• If POST boot chime is not heard, go to Won’t Start Up symptom flow,

• • If POST boot chime is heard, go to No Video symptom flow.

LED #1 + LED #2 + LED #3 + LED #4 = Power available, system is powered on, video card found, and internal LCD found.

If fourth LED is not visible after power on:

• Verify cable connections between LCD panel and logic board

• Inspect LCD display cables for cable damage

• Verify external video functionality, and according to result check the following items:

-If external display works then verify/replace the LED backlight board

-If external display works then verify/replace the LCD panel

-If external display does not work verify/replace the logic board

Check for a faint glow from the display when viewed in a darkened room with the brightness set at maximum.of course you can also shine a bright (low heat) flashlight onto front of LCD. With your iMac computer powered ON verify if a faint image is visible. Let us know what you find out.

This "started to flicker.. as of now the screen wont light" makes it sound like a backlight issue
