despite what is said in this video: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE FAN in order to remove the harddisk!.

instead of HeatGun you can use a hair dryer on maximum to heat up the rim of the screen and then stick a piece of plastic (GuitarPic worked for me) where you can make it slide in between frame and screen and then work your way around it (like opening a can).a lot of small fingers that like fiddeling with cables.an external USB-DVD Drive (to install an OS, unless you want to install OSX which you can also do via Ethernet and Internet (yes that is the only cool thing left about Macs, setup over internet).air-compressor to blow out any dust that has accumulated over the years.After the adhesive is cut, it cannot be used to re-seal the display in place, so you’ll need to apply a new set of adhesive strips. Removing the display requires cutting through the adhesive around the perimeter of the screen.glue (if you not planning on opening this box EVER AGAIN) or (more professional): adhesive strips.small screw-driver with star-shaped head (torx).an SSD (i used the Samsung 860 Evo… and it works).Macs used to be overpriced high quality hardware: this iMac model A1418 with Retina Display costs 1500€ and it does not even come with an SSD!ĭESPITE i5 QUADCORE CPU AND 8GB OF RAM – IT IS HORRIBLY SLOW!ĪPPLE – WHY DO YOU PISS OF YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE THAT?Ī SLOW MAC/PC IS REALLY IS NOT A FEATURE – IT IS A BUG!Įven worse: replacing the harddisk isn’t a 10minute job, prepare 45min or more. Replace Harddisk on iMac 21.5″ – A1418 – Apple I START TO HATE YOU!
