suction cups wont crack your screen. you did that being too forceful. you shouldn't be using that kind of force anyway regardless of mac type. it's important you dont give ppl the impression this was something other than the force you used as they will needlessly fear the repair. just use commonse sense and you'll be fine
Brilliant video. Thanks. I have a 2010 27 Inch imac and it looked exactly like your video. we can't believe how the insides look and blocked the efficiency of the machine
you NEED to blow out the heat sink fins too. My fins were so covered- you couldn't see through them. I actually removed my motherboard so I could really get at the fins on both the CPU & the GPU. I almost considered applying new thermal paste on both processors but when I saw all the dust buildup on the fins; I knew I found my overheating problem. My CPU average temps went from 195ºF to 130ºF, GPU at high load never goes higher than 185ºF but generally runs around 160ºF. And this is with fans speeds under 2000RPM Prior to cleaning; with the fans @3500+ RPM; CPU temp 185ºF - 205ºF; then sudden shutdown; GPU would get too 200ºF + as well. Very unstable. Happy ending after a thorough cleaning. stay safe everybody.
I had been suffering from a fan that was making a lot of noise for some time. Finally opened up the 2019 iMac 27", carefully blew all the dust (and it was a lot) out with a compressor, disassembled the fan, took it apart and cleaned it nicely. I did not hear the iMac anymore and the fan runs quietly in the background. I taped the monitor at 6 points with strong black tape because then I can clean it regularly. Not pretty but effective.
Hi, I came across this video while doing a search. Currently I'm using a 2017 iMac. I'm trying to get a dust cleaning, but it costs $100. should i do that?
I think only the early intel iMacs use magnets to hold the screen on. Later models got screwed with just adhesive, because Apple. Thanks for reminding me about the battery and paste.
in my frustration i punched the screen then loads of dust and fluff came from underneath the IMAC, works great now but not reccommended, mine is 8 years old and was way slow, not any more!
@@Doors_of_janualiterally not for over a decade since 2010. The model they’d have to be working on would need to be so old that it must be mentioned as a caveat at that point. This video was made in 2021 and even the popular iMac models from 2015 many upgraded to were glued
iMacs with adhesive tape are a nightmare to service, someone without experience working on mobos will likely break a clip or something... thanks, Apple, for a nightmare design.
Please more detail regarding what electrical connections must be disconnected and then re-connected
I cracked my screen trying to remove the display, suction cups dont work. I believe my display is glued on, mine is 2015. Beware.

Could you please point out where the battery is fitted, many thanks.
Mine was glued and the screen broke. Be cautious
Thank you

Bet you generated a few extra jobs for yourself from the 'gently pry the screen with a screwdriver part.
