iMac starts, chimes, but no backlight, no video. Light #1 off.
2019 27" Retina iMac with i9. Working fine until I left it off for 3 weeks. I get a startup chime, but no backlight. No video on screen (checked with flashlight), nor on external monitor. The fan runs. I replaced the 1632 battery, which was down to 1.9V, but that hasn't helped. Also tried swapping RAM; no joy. LED #1 never comes on. LEDs #2, #3, and #5 come on, but #4 does not [The display is connected]. I've reviewed prior posts by people with similar problems (no LED #1) but haven't seen a solution. How should I proceed?
Update (05/09/24)
I'll have to borrow another mac with Sonoma. My spare computer is a 2012 , still running Catalina. Here's a picture of the LEDs:
Es esta una buena pregunta?

A further question: per the serial number, this computer is an A2115/EMC3194, made in 2019. Apple says this model doesn't have a T2 chip. What's up with that? Should I give up on DFU?
