I have a 350mhz iMac. Well I updated the OS to 9.2.2 yesterday. This morning I went to start up my Mac and nothing comes up on the screen. It doesn't even seem like the monitor comes up at all. The computer seems to start the startup process and then it doesn't sound like it is going through the whole process, but I can't tell because the monitor still remains dark like it is off. Then when I try and shut it down the light on the monitor blinks green very slightly. I am going to try starting it up off of the OS CD, but if I can't see anything I don't know if it will help. Any Suggestions????

Thanks!!

Well I tried booting off of the system disc and it just shuts down. It doesn't even start spinning the CD. However the hard drive spins, and it does make the start-up sound. Then it will just shut down. I tried zapping the P-Ram and it will not even let you do it. It just shuts down. Then I tried pushing down the black button on on of the boards (forgot what that is called). I replaced the battery with another one and that didn't work. I also swapped the power cord to the wall and swapped hard drives. Nothing works?????????

Please help me!!
