Depending on the iMac model, it has either three or four built-in diagnostic LEDs on the main logic board that can help you to troubleshoot the computer. The LEDs are located either to the right of the battery or to the right of the RAM and may be covered with black tape.
LED #1
Indicates that the trickle voltage from the power supply has been detected by the main 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 the computer has been shut down or put to sleep. The LED will turn off only if the AC power source is disconnected or the power supply is faulty.
LED #2
Indicates that the main logic board has detected proper power from the power supply when the computer is turned on. This LED will be ON when the computer is turned on and the power supply is 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. Note: this LED is not used on systems with the integrated graphics
LED #4
Indicates that the computer and the LCD display 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 LCD display panel, the LCD display panel or inverter might be installed incorrectly or need replacement.

I noticed you already checked it with an external display and found a picture. Please tell us what LEDs are lit. I think I left you a good enough explanation of what they indicate.

Thanks Guys, I figured it all out thanks to your information. What happened is while I was removing the main video cable it broke a pin on the logic board portion. I am using the second display now until I have time to solder a new bracket on there.
Now my second problem, how do I switch my bootcamp over to the mini display port? I cannot boot into my windows and get to my work stuff.
Thanks!
