1 Will not power up after usb cord in rear port landed on a 110 outlet
Call it bad luck i guess. When dusting my office desk i slid the imac and the lightning cable that is plugged into the rear ports landed on a 110 outlet where another device was plugged in. The device was not plugged in all the way and the end of the lighting cable landed righ on those pins. There was a spark at the 110 plug and the breaker kicked. The usb cord only had a bad spot where it made contact. Outside of that it was fine. I have tried powering back up my imac but there is nothing. My question is do you think it killed the logic board? Power supply? I assumed logic board since the usb ports are connected to it. The logic boards for my model are almost as much as a new machine. Any advice?
Update (01/31/2020)
I took the screen off and am only getting one green LED. Just as suspected PS is fine. Logic boards for my model when i can find them are almost as muc has a new computer. I am leaning towards a used IMac, one just like mine. They are in the 650 range. Any ideas?

Long shot, but have you checked the fuse in the iMac mains plug?

No i didnt know it had one. Looking right now.

The fuse you are referring to is internal correct?

In the mains plug that goes into the socket.
If you've got another power cable try that, any kettle lead should work too.

I can not see any type fuse on the apple power cord. The male end is like any other 110 plug and the female end is a sealed unit and i dont see how there would be room in there for a fuse.
