Apple 143W Power Adapter with Gigabit Ethernet
This external power supply performs the primary AC/DC conversion; failures in its internal switching transformer or smoothing capacitors will prevent any DC voltage from reaching the iMac. It is the most statistically likely failure point for a 'dead' unit, especially those sensitive to grounding or electrical transients.

iMac Logic Board (M1, 8-Core CPU/7-Core GPU)
If the external power supply is verified, the internal power distribution rail on the logic board is the secondary failure site. Component-level failure of the Power Management IC (PMIC) or a shorted capacitor on the G3Hot rail will prevent the system from initiating the boot sequence.

Magnetic Power Cable
The proprietary magnetic connector utilizes a specific pin alignment to deliver power and data (Ethernet). Physical damage to the pins or debris in the connector can prevent the mechanical-electrical connection required for the logic board to sense incoming voltage.
