You might have a money pit. First thing to do is ask previous owner for a history of the machine. UPDATE The first thing to check would be the magSafe Adapter. On the right hand side of this Wiki you will see the pin out. Test those first with a multimeter to see if you are even getting power to the unit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagSafe

Let’s take a better look at that battery using Coconut Battery and post your results. If it won’t boot, disconnect the mag-safe and battery, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Reconnect the battery, then the mag-safe and you should get a spontaneous reboot. https://coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/
Réponse à : « How would I install OSX on this mac? » il y a 15 heuresjanvier 19, 2020
There are 11 iMac that are A1312. They run fro 2009-2012. An emc # from the bottom of the stand would help us to identify it. Or you can go here and enter your serial number to find out exactly what it is. https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/ Once we know what systems your machine will take we can get you some option, from a possible DVD input to a USB external drive. If using an external drive you will need a bootable system on it. You will boot from the external, run disk utilities . wipe the internal drive and then install a system.

Réponse à : « Why is my battery draining fast with HDMI adapter? » il y a 2 joursjanvier 18, 2020
Apple is not run by Steve Jobs anymore. You are using an HDMI adapter to drive a large an external monitor. Apple is now run by a different breed of people who are corporate oriented rather than consumer oriented. So expect to pay more for less and only get six years of use out of it. If you don’t like this then support the Right to Repair people and legislation. I’ll be very happy to tell you just how little you have to spend to get that old machine up to speed if you’ll tell me what it is. ( It’s probably a better machine and better built . more upgradeable and repairable).

Sitting a couple of days would trickle charge a capacitor. Look on the logic board for a swollen or leaking can( capacitor).
