From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for putting the disconnect cable steps into detail. NO ONE ELSE on youtube does this.

Fantastic! My old iMac packed up and I wasn't able to boot it up to delete the hard disk, so its been in the garage waiting for someone who could physically remove the hard disk. Today I did it myself! Thank you!

I haven't tried this yet but you make it look so easy that I am going to. My old iMac is getting a little sluggish and an SSD is just what she needs. I've replaced a couple of HDD with SSD on MacBook before but not iMac so this was very helpful.
if you are replacing your old HDD with SSD and you don't want your fan to be noisy, just take off your old HDD control board from the top of HDD (6 small screws), plug in the temperature sensor cable and stick the board on top of your new SSD with double sided tape.
если вы меняете ваш старый HDD на SSD и не хотите что бы он шумно работал из за отсутствия датчика температуры, то снимите плату с верху вашего старого HDD диска , подсоедините к ней оставшийся шлейф температурного датчика и приклейте эту плату поверх нового SSD.
Does it matter where you attach the temp sensor board on the SSD? the part with the double sided tape. Can I put it on the front part of the SSD or does it have to be in the back?
This is BS! Cause its is not a TS. This two wires verified if you using Apple approved HDD. All you need is short 1st and 4th wires. Simple is that.
I had to rip out a old hard drive from this type of Mac. So I could dispose of it. This was a very helpful video. Thank you.
Great to hear! Most welcome 😊Glad I could help. 🙏

it's so much easier to not remove the screen. i simply swing the top of the screen open as far as the cables will go, and tape the corner of it back to the computer body to hold in in place. there is plenty of room to operate on the hd without removing any unnecessary cables.
That is ridiculous there is a 1.5 inch gap you can't even get your hand into.
What are you talking about? What your describing doesn’t even seem possible. Try showing us what you mean. Easier?! Really?
Sounds like a good way to break cables to me. You be you boo.

Everyone cuts and edits out the part at 4:15 of connecting the tricky display data cable.
If anyone wants to upgrade their 2010 iMac then be very careful of that cable. I damaged mine easily, and found that it is easier to disconnect that cable from the display instead.
Absolutely! I just did this to clean out the inside and it was way easier to lift that little tab up and pull. right from
the display.
Yep, you're 100% right about that! I removed my display a few days ago to clean out the insane dust - before I do this SSD upgrade (My kit arrived today via Amazon) That cable clip is extremely delicate, I gently pressed it in to remove the connection and the one side (made of extremely thin plastic) snapped. The other side was ok. But getting back attached was harder - but possible. As long as you get it back in, connected..and NOT jolt the computer, the display is fine. Just breaking it aggravated me. The SDD install won't be a big deal, it's removing this darn display again..well I dread it.
Best clear and easy explanation! Shukran!

Hi, did u install the fan speed app after u installed the OS on the SSD?
2012 or newer, the screen is held on by adhesive. The repair is not difficult, but buy the adhesive strips ahead of time so you can close the system again.
Thank your friend,
Tutorial well done.
You are most welcome. I am pleased that I was able to help. Thank you for watching.
excellent vid, thanks for,braving it. alternatively, you can plug in a usb drive and build a mac install onto the usb drive and then hold alt key to boot from usb drive and from then on, the system remembers the usb boot drive, I have dual boot ubuntu and imac os that I can boot into by holding alt key down

Everything worked fine getting the screen off, unscrewing it, and removing my hard drive. But I cannot figure out how to get the tiny screws back into the holes without them falling into the gutter.
I know what you mean, it's a good idea to use a magnet so that you can catch the tiny screws.

I have to admit I am confused by this video. On one hand, it is extraordinarily well done with exact instructions about how to disassemble and reassemble everything. On the other hand, from reading the description, for my 2011 iMac 27", it looks like I need to buy a thermal cable, a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter, and a OWC SSID DIY kit -- none of which seem to be mentioned or shown in the video. I will buy them, using the links in the description so the Easy Steps gets credit for the sale, but I'm really confused why these three things are not discussed or shown in the video. For example, there is a hot cut in the video showing the bracket on the new SSD -- but it's not clear from the video whether that came from the old disk or you need to buy it (I see from the video description that I need to buy it).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As DIY...we need a head-start only...I clearly indicated that you need - czcams.com/video/xxndCz62NW8/video.html I use the bracket and screws from the older hard drives.
If you buy from any other store then I don't get anything...YES...I do get a small commission which I have stated in my description of my channel that it helps my channel ONLY if you use my link and it ranges between 1% to 2.5% (now you know and can calculate yourself)...and also thanks to you to make me rich.
I try my best to help you guys out, not only that also, I try my best to answer each and every one.
@@EasySteps_Sidhu I did see the disk bracket mentioned in the video, it just wasn't clear at all where it came from (whether it came from the old disk or was purchased separately because it appears out of nowhere in the vide -- especially since you are reusing the screws, it's impossible to tell about the bracket). I am only trying to be constructive, not critical at all. I'm always careful to use the links in help videos for purchases -- it's great to be able to repay in some tiny way for what we learn from those who take time to share their knowledge.
Thanks for sharing the info.

Hello. Did you know that the screen is stuck on with magnets. So if you just used suction cups it would come off alot easier!

Easy steps!
Hi. After you take the glass out and remove the monitor and the cables can you still turn it on to see if the fans are even working? I cannot hear or feel mine at all. I put a little piece of toilet paper at the top to see if it would move and nothing at all. Are they that weak?
+G Fabian Alvarez .... Yes you can turn it on. Of Course without the display you would not be able to see anything. But the internal parts will turn on and you will be able to spot if a fan has gone bad. to turn it off simply disconnect the power. Fortunately fans can be found cheap on ebay. It is a little hassle to change them but not impossible to do.
Thank you 👌🏼💪🏼
Good video
Ottimo!!
nice work.
Missing StepOne: Disconnect the power cable!!!!
Good point, thanks for watching.
ideally let it stand for a while after removing the power to reduce the likelihood of getting a shock from the power board...
Pressing the power button after unplugging will also help to drain the capacitors in the power supply.
Thank you So Much

Hi,
May I ask, where to do connect the HDD censor cable onto your SSD ? Please advice. Thanks.
Its interesting there is no reply to this. I have the same question
Hello ! i am posting this here so maybe others can benefit, your videos are widely helpful, My question is, why is my iMac Late 2011 overheating ? I payed a computer repair store to replace my 1Tb internal(possibly stock) with a 240GB SSD, when i talked to them about a thermal sensor they didn't seem to know what i was talking about, my iMac gets so hot to the point it reboots due to an error, is this due to the fans? are they going crazy because they have no idea what speeds to run ? i read this somewhere.
Thans for your time.
You probably can't unless it is an Apple approved hard drive. So what you do is you go to Other World Computing and you buy the external thermal sensor for your iMac, and then you can use a regular hard drive.
Oh yeah, and if you've got thermal sensor issues, and don't want to replace the drive, or buy the Other World Computing sensor, then download the smcFanControl Mac app, and you'll have to manually spool up the fans.
What about the HDD temp sensor? You just leave it off the new ssd?
No need...Along with the dynamic thermal throttling mechanism, the performance of the SSD will be throttled down to ensure that the SSD's temperature does not exceed the critical level.
Did I miss something? How do you transfer the OS, Apps, and Files over to the SSD?
Easy Steps thank you very much!
