Thank you for your service
Glad it helped.
Great video. I would recommend to put new thermal paste on CPU and also replace CMOS battery
Yeah, if it's having heat issues
@@ItsBinhRepaired The thermal paste is probably dry since it's 11 yrs old. Since case is already open and I'm sure the client will appreciate it
@@homiwalls not if it costs more. They'll say it's fine. Lol
Thanks for this - mystery solved. A customer imac A1418 EMC No 2833 Cannot have RAM upgrade - hard soldered. Seems the EMC number is also important.
Yup
Thank you for sharing!
No problem. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!
great video love the tutorial, I have the late 2012 model so im going trash that out and install late 2013 so I can get the Nvme Adapter for the ssd stick too work on the late 2013, the late 2012 does not fit on those adapter
Hope it goes well.
@@ItsBinhRepaired thanks!
@@Explore531 yup
Thank you for sharing! Anyway the 90% of those ssd adaptors get burn and the board damaged. Not recommended.
Haven't ever had an issue with that.
That's only the older adapters. The cheap ones available now are fine. You don't even need the Sintech.
@@davejohnsonmusic nice
Awesome video. If I just install the NVMe SSD and upgrade RAM, but not replace the old HDD (same as what you did), does the computer speed uplift a lot? (BTW, i only want to use the old HDD for storing photos, files etc.)
You will need to clone the OS drive to the SSD, then test it without the hard drive. After you verify it works, you need to format the hard drive.
Thanks. After install the NVMeSSD and use it as startup disk, the boot time is super fast, 15s.

Thanks for the great video Binh,
could you explain what specific RAM type we need for this model, the tools required and where we can purchase all these items?
Any idea about the costs?
would you recommend swapping the mechanical hard at the same time while we are doing all the hard work; to avoid having
to do it all again?
Not all models have replaceable RAM or the SSD slot. You'll want to see if yours has the slots before pulling it apart completely and buying the parts.
Thank you for your support. I would like to know if you can help me with the noise after install the SSD on Model A1418 which comes underneath the logo of apple. your reply will be well appreciate.
Noise? Fan spinning extra fast?
a hair dryer helps just move it around the edge of screen it soft'in's the glue don't leave it in one place to long it does remove the screen better
Possibly, but doesn't seem necessary.
Hello, I have an Imac 21.5" late 2012 that has a port exactly the same as the one you show in your video, is it possible that I can install that adapter and an M.2 SSD? If so, what adapter do you recommend and what brand of SSD? M.2 you suggest I install.
This amzn.to/3ScxCLj
What is the name of the tool used to separate the screen? Thanks for uploading
It comes with the adhesive here amzn.to/3trHzME
Which one screwdriver can open this screws? amd the motherboard ram
This set will do well amzn.to/3vrV6oi
hi... Can this method also be done on imac late 2012? thanks
What are you trying to do?
@@ItsBinhRepaired I want to upgrade to make it faster
@@taman_teras what's the model number on the bottom of the stand? A####

Hi Binh , i can upgrade 21.5" Inch 2013 Late PCIe NVMe SSD Hard Drive . Any model late 2013 it have slots ssd PCIe ?
If it came with an apple SSD you can, but you need an adapter.
Hi I have a 2019 imac 21.5 inch, can I add a cable for SSD? because there is no cable and no ssd or hhd, Thank you in advance.
I don't think so if the storage is integrated :(
After installing the nvme, when upgrading the os, is won’t upgrade because it requests a firmware update for the nvmi (not being the apple ssd) is there a solution or a more compatible nvmi ssd that won’t cause this issue?
You need to have your Mac updated to mojave or later first
Im assuming the nvme ssd wont run at the full adverised speed. Or am i wrong ? Nvme ssds are the same price as sata ssds so im not sure if i should go with nvme or sata
I would use a 2.5" SATA SSD. M.2 isn't worth the effort.
@@ItsBinhRepaired yeah I just researched. Seems like older iMacs can only use ssds at max 700 write/read speeds. So a pice 3.0 nvme wouldn't be fully utilized.
I mean because you'd have to pull the whole logicboard out
Hello, great video on the 21.5 inch iMac but I have one question. On the OWC website it says it M.2 SSD Flash drive says NOTE: Aura Pro X2 SSDs can only be installed in 21.5-inch iMac models that came with a factory-installed SSD or Fusion drive. Aura Pro X2 is not compatible with iMac16,1 or iMac16,2 (Late 2015). I have a late 2013 iMac 21.5" with a 2.9 i5 quad core CPU with 16 gig of RAM and an NVIDIA 750M 1 gig video card and it didn't come with a Fusion Drive just a 1TB SATA 5400 RPM Drive. Did the this iMac you were working on come with the Standard 5400 RPM drive or a Fusion Drive. Also when you installed the Crucial PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 were you successful in installing the Mac OS? Plus if you were what is the maximum size you can installed in this iMac? Also where did you get the adapter for the M.2 2280 SSD in order to install it.
I recommend upgrading the SATA drive to an SSD. The m.2 thing is quite a bit more risky, especially if you don't do this type of work a lot, but if you really want to, here's the adapter amzn.to/46EIxDj
I don't think it came with a fusion drive, but either way you'll want to check.
Thank you for the information but a couple of things you didn't answer: What was the size of the crucial PCIe M.2 SSD you used and I take it that you were able to migrate or install the Mac OS without any issues. @@ItsBinhRepaired
Whatever the standard size is. Every m.2 will be the same size unless you're specifically looking for a smaller one.
Use time machine to migrate.
do you have another video after that how fast is booting what speed on Nvme ssd .any way thanks for video
I don't, but if you're still using a spinning disk drive, you really need to change it.
what is the max ram for the a1418 32 gig or 64 gig
@event-zero whatever you can buy and put in the slots.
Can I swap a late 2012 21.5 imac to a late 2013 or 2015 motherboard??? Help me
I don't think so.
please can someone help me what size are those screws because I have lost 3 of them and cant find it 9:10 thanks
You don't need them all. Try a big magnet to find them.
@@ItsBinhRepaired I like too be professional lol so I still like having all 5 of those screws and I dont have a magnet on hand
@@Explore531 not sure of the screw size, but since you have a few left, you could measure them.
Hi ! Sir !
Can i upgrade my 2012 A1418 imac with NVMe SSD ?
Most likely not and it's a lot of work and risk to get to it even if you can. I don't recommend it.
@@ItsBinhRepaired Thanks for your advice sir 🤝
@@mohamedrimzan3626 no problem
I'd rather see a cleanup to the fan :)
Just blow it out with an electric blower
Hi, what Is SSD Speed?
No idea. You can get whatever you want.
What’s the name of the adapter?
What adapter?
@@ItsBinhRepaired I think he means the nvme adaptor, none that I've seen specifically state its for a A1418, found some that work with (A1465 A1466 A1398 A1502) I assume its the same thing?
Yup
No me creo que funcione ese nvme en pci express. Tengo el mismo equipo y realizo el mismo tutorial y no reconoce el disco. he visto foros en los que dice q el puerto no funciona para los mac 21" mid 2013. No enseñas el arranque , ni el disco
Your mac needs to be Mojave or newer OS before the upgrade. It worked just fine. Why would I put a tutorial for an upgrade that doesn't work...
SO DIRTY! YUCK
Lol yeah, I don't control the cleanliness of the customer's computers.
😱 A gdzie instalacja systemu na nowym dysku??? Albo link do istalacji?
I did what the customer wanted. Upgraded SSD and RAM... CMOS battery lasts a long time.
@@ItsBinhRepaired tak, zrobiłeś to co miałeś zrobić, ale umieszczając film na youtube kształtujesz tę tematykę, a więc aby temat był rzetelnie potraktowany powinieneś to napisać: zrobiłem to co miałem zrobić ale wy dla siebie zróbcie jeszcze to i to. Nie uważasz? W ten sposób ,w który opisałeś swoją naprawę wprowadzasz ludzi w błąd. Podstawowa sprawa, po rozebraniu komputera trzeba wyczyścić układ chłodzenia, wymienić pastę termoprzeodzącą, wymienić baterię cmos, dołożyć RAM, można zmienić CPU jeśli ktoś chce, dołożyć NVME z adapterem, wymienić dysk 2,5" na dysk SSD. Robi się to po to aby więcej nie otwierać obudowy. Tak więc jeśli umieszczasz świadomie film to rób to porządnie, a nie na odpierdol, bo spoczywa na Tobie odpowiedzialność.
