When an iMac fails to turn on, shuts down unexpectedly, or loses power during use, the issue is often related to the internal power supply. Because the power system controls every other component, these problems should be addressed carefully and correctly to avoid secondary damage.
Power-related failures are diagnosed at the component level to determine whether the issue is isolated to the power supply or linked to surrounding circuitry. This allows the correct repair path to be chosen without unnecessary part replacement.
No response when pressing the power button
System shuts down without warning
Electrical buzzing or unusual internal noise
Burning or overheated odor near the rear vent
Screen briefly lights up, then goes dark
System powers on intermittently or not at all
Power instability can worsen over time, especially if caused by heat stress or electrical surges.
Power System Evaluation
The power supply, internal connectors, and related voltage paths are tested to identify faults accurately.
Repair or Replacement Decision
When repair is possible, damaged components such as capacitors or regulators are addressed directly. If replacement is required, a compatible unit is installed based on the exact iMac model.
Safety and Stability Checks
Surge damage, heat exposure, and surrounding components are inspected to ensure the system operates safely after repair.
Operational Verification
Startup behavior, system load handling, fan response, and overall stability are tested before the iMac is returned.
