imac help

[Josh Rickun]

i have a project i'm working on, restarted my 2007 24" imac and all i'm getting is a gray screen. unplugged it for 10 minutes and restarted still getting gray screen. telephone support is closed. anybody know the key command things they tell you to do on the phone or have any bright ideas?

[Ruthless Cow]

Yeah - use your utility disc, restart while holding down 'c' so it boots off the disc.

[Josh Rickun]

there's already a disc in the drive.

[Ruthless Cow]

You should be able to force eject it - according to apple's site you restart while holding down the mouse button.

Yeah, just hold down the left mouse button as soon as you hear the start up sound after restarting. Disc should pop out.
