How to disassemble iMac
At the moment, all that could save the pics
After a year of living together, my iMac became terribly slow, and every hour the syndromes were getting worse and worse until he just hung up and refused to turn on after his eyes had turned from such 0_o state into such o_o, it became clear that the hard drive died, oh , punished me with a love of torrents)) I climbed into the network, found something like a normal video facto, but it turned out for white iMac, but for mine nothing was found (Intel), after two days without a network I realized that I needed something to do, I went and bought a set of TORX bits (since the network said what was needed from T4 d about T9, in practice it turned out that everything is inside on T9) and the WD5000AAKS hard drive at 500GB, I started to realize my plans!
We need:
1. TORX screwdriver or TORX bit size T9
2. Phillips screwdriver
3. Tweezers
4. Vacuum Velcro

1) Remove the cover of RAM, by the way, the only screw with a Phillips screwdriver
2) We fasten the velcro to the glass and gently pull the glass on the magnets, so there should be no particular problems, but you need to lift evenly, as there are guides that can be bent at an angle !!!
3) Unscrew 12 bolts (4 long ones will be at the bottom)
4) Many of the FAQs and before my claim that this is the power of the camera, but I want them to upset this heat sensor (iMac is stuffed with them everywhere, right up to the sidir and the case as we see) here are two ways or to get into a special hole with tweezers and when you remove the cover, disconnect by weight (as you like)
5) Remove the cover from top to bottom, as the bottom of the aluminum cover is hooked onto the plastic base
6) Remove the sensor from the matrix
7) Unscrew the 8 bolts of the matrix attachment (all the bolts are different, so you will not mix it up, but you only need to twist it in its place)))
8) You need to remove the matrix carefully, I didn’t fully unscrew the lower bolts and was able to tilt it, thus you can access as a bag (a), which made it possible to remove 4 power contacts (c) and a loop of the video signal itself (b)
9) So we got to the hero of the occasion, as we can see on him double-sided taped with a temperature sensor, we tear it off, then I just glued it on an ordinary adhesive tape
10) To remove the hard drive itself, you need to pull the plastic latch and when it pops out, remove the power and satash cable, then twist the two guides, and the plastic latch, by the way, everything is screwed through the rubber pads that reduces noise and vibrations
11) That's all))) To assemble it back we do everything step by step back, there are two tricks that save you time and nerves when you screw the matrix back do not forget to lay back the lower sensor cable, then fasten the two lower bolts and open as Suitcase click the video signal cable, the power supply is also at least at first glance and easy to connect, but the lower two wires should get to their place in the case, otherwise the matrix will bend and you can not screw it properly! The photo shows their place! Well, when you put on an aluminum cover on the base, do not forget to wear it from the bottom up and connect the temperature sensor!
