You can't use an iMac as a 'monitor'. But you could use Apple's screen sharing.
On the MBP, go to System Preferences -> Sharing, and check the box for Screen Sharing. Now, on the iMac, in Finder select the MBP and then click the Screen Sharing button. You can now work with your MBP on the iMac. I do this a lot, you can even run the MBP in a 'Space' at full screen.
I assume you mean you want to shut it down if you are expecting the fan to stop. In OS X you need to click the Apple symbol top left and choose "Shut down..." or "Sleep". If you need to force it to shut down (DONT DO THIS ALL THE TIME) then press and hold the power button for more than 5 sec till you hear/see it stop working
Attach an external monitor to the port on the rear of the iMac (requires a mini-VGA to VGA adapter). If the external monitor shows image, then you have a bad inverter or LCD panel, or a disconnected display cable. If the external monitor shows no image, then it is something else, and whatever it is will probably require a logic board replacement, which is not cost-effective in a machine this old (unless you have an unusual source of used parts).
mcdevito75 here, Hopefully it"s just bad cinnection, Check all connections at the monitor and computer, If good, press the AUTO button on your monitor, this returns screen to factory settings. If all this fails, your monitor may be going bad. Take the monitor to A Staples, best but or computer repair shop for a check out. Hope this helps.
There is no way to connect the original XBox console to an imac's monitor. There was never an hdmi or VGA connector that was worth buying made for the Original XBox.
The XBox 360 has a nice VGA adapter. But no the original XBox, sorry!
