Power supply works when logic board is disconnected.

iMac is dead.
I tested the power supply separately from the logic board and all the pins match the expected amounts. When I attach it to the logic board, all the pins are dead, zero volts everywhere.

Q: Does this mean there’s a short on the logic board? Wouldn’t the pins still show a voltage since the short is drawing power?

Q: Do I need to supply voltage to the board to find the short?

Yes, you have a short within the logic board, often it’s the MXM GPU board that fails.

Time to pullout the DVM and check the power rails for a short (without the power supply connected). You’ll need the board-views and schematics for the system.

DVM? Digital voltmeter, right? (Just checking) ;)

Also, can I assume that the power supply is prob OK?

@Paul Spinelli - Likely, you really need to test the logic board power rails for a short
