Hi guys, I need your help again.
I have this iMac from a customer that shut down during a storm along with all the other devices in the house. In particular, the router, connected via Ethernet to the iMac, caught fire.
When I removed the screen from the iMac to check the status of the LEDs, I noticed that none of them were lit. I had a perfectly compatible and working power supply, so I tried it right away, but the problem remained the same (no LEDs). With the thermal camera, I noticed only a slight warming (32 degrees) of the NCP1605BG chip on the power supply. The rest was completely cold, including the entire motherboard. I then removed the motherboard from the chassis for an initial inspection and immediately noticed signs of burning in the area of the Ethernet port. I am attaching the images. Now I am asking you if I have any reasonable hope of restoring the functionality of the iMac (even by isolating the Ethernet port).
Thank you very much.
