Half a chime then shuts off - boots after a few tries or unplugigng

Hi guys,

I'm working on a 24" 2008 iMac that has a weird issue where it takes a few tries to get it to turn on. Once it is on, everything seems to work fine, but it takes a few tries to get there. It'll usually do about half of the chime then immediately shut off.

Could this be a power supply problem? I found a similar issue on these forums and the answer was a GPU replace/reflow.

Thanks!

Thanks Dan, so what happens is trickle voltage is good. When I power on, LED comes on and stays solid, LED 3 flashes for a second then goes away and the computer turns off in the middle of the chime.

I have to then unplug power and replug in to try to boot again. Looks like video card according to LED 3 being video related
