Joel's Story Photo #160617

My Problem

I have had my iMac for almost 4 years and the internal WD hard drive went kaputt. The system was hanging often, sometimes for as long as an hour. I knew something was amiss. I had to run Apple Hardware Test on an extended test in order to come up with the hard drive failure error. I have an external clone backup which is updated daily, so, I was able to boot from that drive and use my computer as normal while I waited for the replacement drive and tools to arrive in the mail.

My Fix

Went swimmingly! I cleared off the coffee table in my living room and used the iFixIt app on my iPhone to guide me through the process, step-by-step. The entire process took maybe 1.5 hours, since I was being extra-careful. I used the dust blower to remove a lot of built-up dust bunnies inside the computer, and to blow any errant particles off the exposed screen.

My Advice

Stay grounded. No shuffling about on carpet in your socks while you perform iMac surgery. It was a pleasantly warm day where I live, so I ran around barefoot, and without a shirt on. I felt more like an auto mechanic than a computer geek. Oh, and if you still have the box your iMac originally came in, sticking the screen glass into the styrofoam molds in there is handy, as is putting the detached screen into the padded computer sleeve. Keep a lint-free cloth around, just in case you put a finger print on the screen. Try really hard not to, though.

My Problem

Last week I helped a friend move his boat up the IntraCoastal Waterway (ICW) and my MacBook Pro got splashed with salt water. It was in "standby" so partly powered up, and a look at the USB ports showed some electrolysis took place. Once in a dry place I opened it to see that part of the motherboard looked like a scene in Sim City after Godzilla flamed it. Other corrosion indicated that it's time for a new MacBook.

My Fix

I ordered the Universal Drive Adapter on Thursday and when I got home on Monday it was there waiting for me. Although I had a pretty recent backup, the great news is that the SATA drive is fine and I retrieved trip photos and files via the UDA's USB interface.

My Advice

I already had the #00 Philips screwdriver required to remove the bottom cover, and as suggested, I used a 1.5mm flathead screwdriver to remove the battery. I don't expect to reuse the disk drive soon but the UDA from iFixit retrieved my data.

My Problem

Old IDE drive reused

My Fix

Worked out of the box.

My Advice

Great for all drives.

My Problem

Replaced a 2TB HDD that came with my iMac with a 120 gb 3g SATA SSD from OWC (Mercury Pro)

My Fix

Repair went well, first time that i have ever opened up my iMac

My Advice

make sure you have all the equipment handy before you start!
