The plan was to take the iMac to the Apple Store and just drop it off: fix it or burn it. Here's the reference number.
That wound up being quite a bit longer, most of which accomplished nothing until the iMac finally gave up a black screen crash. Now, after over two months, they believe it happens.
The next pitch after that was maybe it's the power supply and my response was ela, ela ... power supplies fail or they don't.
Nevertheless, it was their first preference to replace the power supply. $106.80
The much more likely culprit is the logic board: $776
For almost half of the price of the computer now they say they can fix it. I still don't believe them and asked them to put it back in the box. When the geniuses haven't known what they're doing for two months, there's no reason to believe there's been a sudden increase in IQ.
All the while, an ad was running on a TV screen in the store showing how you can send idiot messages to idiot friends by doodling something on your iWatch. Finally something even less inventive than bringing a woman a single rose ... and Apple invented it.
The other option will be to send it back to PowerMax who, most likely, will suggest replacing it ... like I ever want to see one of these blighted machines again. The ideal solution at this point is send the money back and I'll pretend I never saw a computer in my life.
How it will really go is something you will understand if you ever tried to return anything to Best Buy (i.e. don't bother as they will run you around until you die).
