Resurrecting a zombified iMac

問題

My iMac was over 3 years old. Has a decent i5 and graphics card but a old school HDD. I use my machine for audio podcast production so I was worried that it wouldn't keep up with my production goals.

修理

Amazing! The guide was perfect. Easy to follow with pictures that we exactly what I needed during the repair. I only replaced the main hard drive so I didn't need to remove the whole logic board. A few tense moments with flex cables but everything booted up after the swap.

アドバイス

CLEAN EVERYTHING! Once you remove the cover glass it will be covered in dust. Clean, clean, clean. Then continue cleaning. You will notice every little spec. Also boot your machine before attaching the glass to verify everything went ok.
