hi and thank you for a wonderful breakdown of the imac. i followed all your steps and it went off without a hitch. i have one question, all seemed fine but when i went to take out optical drive as i lifted it a bunch of black powder came out from under it. kind of like pencil lead. do you have any idea what it could be or maybe its just dirt although it clearly looks like black pencil lead thank you

hi i think you did an amazing job of breaking down how to disasemble this spotbot. i have the exact same one and though it works great suction is amazing, the brushes dont spin and i took it apart completely except i didnt know where the motor was that controlled the brushes until reading this. thanks so much

yes its the number 5 torque to fit the screw perfectly

yes its the number 5 torque

the torque sizing bit would be the number 5 torque bit which will fit in the screw to unscrew it

hi i just finished prying apart those round buttons. it is very important to know if you dont want to mangle the button trying to pry it loose. if your looking down at the four buttons the inside part of all the four round circles is where you put a thin small tool, that is where the opening is to eventually pull up the whole thing without having to mangle the circle. so if your looking at the four circles the opening will be in the part of circle where all rounds face each other inward i hope this helps
