You are the most cheerful tech lady on Utube. I always enjoy watching your videos.
I just followed your instructions to clean up my fan cos it started to make noise due to all the dust inside. So I took it out and cleaned it. You have to be careful with these little plugs but now it's up and running again. Only waiting for the isolation material I ordered on ebay. Thank you for the great video! Cheers! ;)
Excellent presentation - clear, succinct, and thorough. Well planned repair video.
What a great demonstration video, in a nut shell, clear and easy to understand. I'll be doing mine very soon. Thanks Gwendolyn
1:38 - don´t you apply some heat pistol before opening?.. or that trick is for older imacs?
Cool! The red toolbox in the back, what make/brand is that?
Hi! Do you Knowles how to upgrade CPU on Apple iMac "Core i7" 3.4 27-Inch (Late 2012) ?
So has anybody thats been inside one have an opinion on the cracking or popping sounds seemingly coming from the speakers? I hear it too and ive seen it a lot in forums but when i put headphones in i still hear it coming from the computer but not in the headphones. Some ppl say its the adhesive foam expanding with heat
how do i clean the glass from the inside?
I hear the proverbial 'chime' on my A1418 when I turn it on but nothing else happens. The screen remains black. I do smell smoke. There is no drive activity, no fan, nothing else. Replacing the hard drive did nothing to fix the issue. Would replacing the fan be an adviseable strategy? Thanks in advance.
thank u it's helpful
You make it looks so easy!!!! Can you repair mine, pleaseeeeeeee!!! I got a probleme with the support, so the screen does not stay in place. I need to put a phone on the back to keep the screen on place. Can you make a video showing how repair this part. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
How to repair hinges of imac
Love the way you have to sweat bullets to get the screen off, then there are T10's inside. "T10 screws! sod that! im putting the screen back on!!" haha
I Replaced the hard drive which was faulty. Now my screen is half grey.
Anybody know how I can resolve?
Thanks, Katniss.
Nice video but, uh, anti-static write strap? Seems kind of important.
No heat needed ?
unrelated to the fan, but while we have the screen off can we replace the HDD with any SDD? I have a 1TB HDD and would like to have a 1TB SDD if I can just swap it out?
CardinalHijack yes but you need a temperature sensor or else the fan will turn at maximum speed. U can find the kid at ifixit or owc website. You could also use macsfancontrol software to control the speed of the fan, but in this case u should always keep an eye on the temperature values.
A LITTLE heat doesn't hurt, and makes it much easier...
nice ,, so good video :)
For me is not enough complicated. Next generation of iMacs should using arthroscopic surgery and dedicated surgery table in order to be fixed, not just plastic cads and ridiculous rotary cutter.
She makes it look so very easy, I would be very afraid to open mine.
no open .will breanken .you will cry
i´m wondering how she didn't used heat pistol... nice
i´m sure that she got more time open it, just shorten video for showing purposes, but it understands by itself...
you should give a try with imac opening tool and plastic cards...
Me likely you
I've been researching into speeding up Macs and discovered a great resource at Achak Speed Plan (check it out on google)
i have this imac, but shuts down after using it for some hours, and won´t to power up again even if i press power button...
the solution is to disconnect physically from power supply (on wall) and wait about 30 minutes...
does someone knows what could it be? .. i´m not sure if it is a temperature problem, because its value is rounding 91°F.. i think is good..
well, after some weeks i orderer a new power supply.. will give a try.
I've had the same problem for over a year now. I've had it to Apple and they kept it for a few days to run all sorts of tests. Of course it didn't happen while they had it and their tests found no hardware or software issues. So, I took it home and the problem stopped for many months. I should also note that during transport in the car the Mac was accidentally banged against the dashboard pretty hard. I thought that maybe this knocked something back into place since nothing else changed to cause the problem to stop. Anyway, now it's happening again and I too am thinking about replacing the power supply (something Apple suggested if it came back). Please let me know how it's going!
Mikeh Miiikeh I have same problem !! You changed your power ??
yes, after changing PSU, works excelent again..... that was the problem.. give a try buying it from ebay.. PSU LiteOn
was PSU !
where to get apple display to buy ??
ebay *
nice video . glad to be first
Aren't there three fans in an iMac? I have the dreaded "fan at full speed" problem.
John Tendy Could be software defect. Try to restore the system to its factory settings.
Interesting. After getting a new iMac I reformatted the drive on the old iMac and did a clean install of Sierra. Still have a fan problem. Also opened it up and replaced heat sensor. No luck. I suppose I should just replace the fan and see what happens. Thank you for responding :)
Replaced screen, now fan usage is at 100 percent.
for such a beautiful machine, removing the glass is quite stone age.. "pry open by wedging plastic to separate adhesive'. Adhesive?! really? Why isn't there just a single button? Come on Apple I expect END to END beauty.. including repair procedures.
Excellent demonstration
Very annoying background music
você é curiosa hein?
why did you smile when saying 1:15 -1:22 :D
She forgot the part where she used a hot gun to soften the adhesive on the screen.
Hell yeah, She is still gorgeous.
Fucking hard this kind of job 😅😅
Should be using anti static gloves
how much did Apple pay you to make advertising for all their tools?
don't insert your tool deeper than 3/8ths of an inch!!!
N. 2. i did deeper now my screen become black :(
Whenever i hear the word iMac i always get visions of a burger that is made by apple as if apple was mcdonalds or burger king just me?
Yes
+Jeff Weirdo Synesthesia? lol
I think you should stop eatting burgers.... You're seeing them everywhere.
Apple makes things way too hard.
This is useful information, but if you're wealthy enough to own one of these, why not just pay for service? This is nearly the least user-customizable device I've ever seen.
I am going to do mine myself because all the repair places want my iMac for 5 to 7 working days. No place for one day repair. I would rather pay for expert repair and warrantee but I can't be without it that long.
Apple is shit. After seeing this video I am hating it even more. Damn right you are. Least user-customizable. That's exactly what they want. It's expensive and not nearly as powerful as customizable pc for some low bucks.
So big.
the problem with touching the electronics is not that it gives you a shock xD it's so that you don't give it a shock and damage it! the electronics are surely out of any power in this moment but if you're rolling around a carpet or charged yourself up otherwise (like when rubbing a balloon) you are in danger of damaging the electronic pieces... but anyways it helped as I now know I have to go through the screen. just don't fool your audiences anymore,,, the worst vid on youtube was about a guy who blew air into his imac instead of sucking it and the dust out... absolutely professional (irony)
Hubi Guschti um, the part she was referencing was the power supply. It can hold a charge for hours after being powered down, and can deliver enough power to kill you.
She's hot to me.
