iMac early 2008 EMC 2211 hard drive replacement

mmbuch -

My Problem

Hard drive dying - intermittently not booting - I was able to clone drive to external HD before it died and used this drive as replacement.

My Fix

The repair went great. Your HD replacement guide was invaluable. It gave me the courage to go ahead (I am a 69 years old). My iMac is back.

My Advice

Step 4: I printed your picture of the front bezel and taped the screws next to corresponding holes to avoid confusion.

Step 11. I disconnected the LCD cable at the LCG display and not the board. The tape covering this connector is easily moved aside and replaced. The connector was stuck and was difficult to pull and disconnect - patience and persistence worked.

Small vacuum and compressed air bottle for cleaning inside.
