Apple iMac 27 inch died

You stick to your Dixon's Mitsui value range, it's all you'll ever be able to afford.

You know what they say, a fool and his money are easily parted. Serves you right for being a pretentious fop in the first place.

It was a present, you presumptious fool.
If I liked Apple tulipe I would have a crap iPhone, wouldn't I?

And anyway better to be someone who can earn lots of money to be parted from in the first place and just as easily replace it, than a poor penny-pinching mediocrity like you. HTH, BIDI.

Is it OSX that's failed - if Windows partition boots it can't be the hardware can it?

Nope its definitely a PEBKAC issue...

I have a pair of Dell U2711s from 2011.

Probably a different model name by now.

Not cheap, but both happily run at 2560x1440.

Was thinking just that - no matter, not worth fixing if its only use is as a monitor.
Gives me an excuse to buy another shiny piece of kit
Sadly, I think the CMD-F2 combi that turns it into a monitor is an Apple thing, unless someone knows how to make it a monitor in Windows - but TBH I'm already eyeing some nice 27 inch monitors covetously.

Poor sas. So pathetically sad.

I think someone who thinks that adding 0.25 to all sides of an equation to make it leap-year suitable would definitely have personal experience of PEBKAC, don't you?
Or someone who thinks their degree enables them to understand an unknown internet user?

Poor sas. .

I think looking at it objectively, you'll find yourself to be the poor one.

Boot it with Cmd-R - should take you into recovery mode, then it'll go off to Apple's servers and reinstall (won't wipe your data unless you go into advanced settings and tell it to)...
