    • Si la charnière n'est pas bloquée, l'iMac sera mal équilibré et vous aurez du mal à le manipuler. Les réparations sont plus rapides et simplifiées avec une cale de maintien pour iMac, mais sont possibles sans.

    • Si vous utilisez la cale de maintien en carton iFixit, suivez ces instructions d'assemblage pour l'assembler.

    • Avant de commencer votre réparation iMac : Débranchez l'ordinateur et appuyez sur le bouton de marche pendant dix secondes, afin de décharger les condensateurs de l'alimentation.

    • Veillez à ne toucher ni les fils des condensateurs ni les soudures apparentes à l'arrière du bloc d'alimentation. Tenez-le toujours par les côtés.

    The wedge is an extremely tight fit for this model. I was worried that the amount of force needed to use it as shown might damage the stand, so I used it with the long side down instead. It worked fine that way and didn’t need anywhere near as much force to insert.

    Here are a couple tips from me:

    1) Expose the adhesive to extreme temperatures. I did this by transporting my iMac in my car, screen-down on a piece of cardboard on a cold February morning (in Chicago). When I went to pick up the iMac, the screen practically fell off the chassis. I would have been distraught by this if I hadn’t already planned this replacement. So it was a happy accident.

    2) Remember to expell the residual power from the power supply by pushing the power button while the iMac is unplugged. This does NOT guarantee it’s safe to touch, but when I accidentally brushed the solder and exposed capacitors, I didn’t get shocked.

    Instead of using the wedge, I placed the iMac faced up with the top side (web cam) facing me while I ran the pizza roller around. It worked out great!

    There is no replacement glass for this model, it is part of the LCD and impossible to remove or replace- the entire LCD has to be replaced unfortunately if the glass is cracked or damaged. You will have to Google search for a replacement. Also be careful with some of the lock tight tork screws as I broke one of my screw mounts taking one out.

    Phil Tesone - Replica

    I used this service wedge but also found it a very tight fit. The same stabilization can be achieved by using a big rolled up towel.

    While this is a good instruction guide, I recommend to also look at OWC’s instruction video about drive installation, before starting the exercise. Those install videos are very detailed and useful.

    Ernst - Replica

    Main advice: TAKE YOUR TIME with the pizza roller.

    Make several passes, until you really feel like there's no more sticker in the way. Stay away from the camera though (approx. 1inch / 2.5cm on both sides). This will reduce the work left with the plastic card. Adhesive is really on the edge of the screen so there is absolutely no need to go any further than the recommended 1cm / 3/8inch depth.

    Where are the sensitive parts?

    Facing your iMac, imagine you're looking at a watch. There are antennas on 1, 2 and 4 o'clock. Do not insert any metal piece there (nor anywhere else, btw). Other than that AND the screen cables underneath the camera, not much danger.

    • En partant de la gauche de l'écran, près du bouton de marche, insérez l'outil d'ouverture de l'iMac dans l'interstice entre la vitre et le boîtier arrière.

    • Le moyeu de l'outil d'ouverture de l'iMac vous empêchera d'engager la roulette trop loin. Si vous vous servez d'un autre outil, ne l'insérez pas de plus d'un centimètre dans l'écran. Sinon, vous risquez de sectionner les câbles d'antenne et de provoquer de graves dégâts.

    Don’t get too worried about starting exactly where the picture says. The glue is stronger in some parts so just start wherever is easier and then work slowly and patiently around in the direction shown.

    As this guide doesn’t cover replacing the adhesive strips, I found referring to the following was useful (noting that it’s not for the same model of iMac, so the modification they mention wasn’t necessary): Sostituzione strisce adesive iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2544

    It is very easy to crack the glass in front of the LCD during this step. I used the guitar pick, maybe it was too thick… crack is just on the frame but anyway it is disappointing :(

    Nikolay - Replica

    This part of the exercise should be done with extreme patience. I took my sweet time with the opening tool, rolling it through the entire panel and enclosure gap over and over again, until I was very sure no parts were sticking together anymore. And when I thought I was I done, I decided to do it over again.

    Ernst - Replica

    You can "warm up" the adhesive before try to cut it with the tool using a hair dryer. Heat the edges for about a minute, keep moving it so you don't cause stress in the glass. Also the above note.. use the tool and then the cards. Do not use a guitar pick or other objects as the thickness will cause you to break the front glass, which is a bonded part of the display (expensive).

    • Servez-vous de l'outil comme d'une roulette à pizza, en suivant le pourtour de l'iMac, de manière à effectuer une découpe au centre de la mousse adhésive.

    • Veillez à toujours pousser l'outil en plaçant la poignée derrière la roulette. Si vous tirez sur l'outil, la roulette risque de sortir de la poignée.

    • Poussez l'outil de haut en bas sur le côté gauche de l'écran.

    If re-opening a screen that was opened and re-attached using iFixit’s adhesive strips, I would strongly recommend heating it first with an iOpener, heat gun or hair dryer. 20 minutes after attaching with the iFixit adhesive I tried to open it again with the pizza slicer to fix something and cracked the screen on the left-hand side.

    In this step can I cut along the display without make any damage to the front camera?

    arisnordico - Replica

    Hi! Actually - there is no need to cut the tape around the camera area - there is no tape to cut at all! And so, the way go is easy - just pass 10 mm to the left and to the right from camera and start cutting!

    P.S. Just did the whole procedure to replace a RAM and to add SSD on PSIe an hour ago! Seems to be different reading the instructions... you know - 2/10 and so on. But it's really not that hard, trust me. I'll give it 5/10.

    P.P.S. By the way there is one trick to pass the difficult steps. Any action which requires pulling smth (motherboard, speaker, power supply unit) from the narrow crack (or should i say - slit?) at the bottom of your Imac is really not so easy.

    And the trick is to first remove a thin metal stripe with some kind of insulation on it which held by 5 small (very small!!) screws at the bottom of your Imac. After you done it - it's easy to pull everything! Pay attention to the fact that one of this 5 screws at the center are more shortly than others.

    If you're changing cracked EMC 2638 display to new assembly, there's two more steps:

    Step 24: Use the tip of a spudger to flip up the metal retaining bracket on the display data cable.

    Carefully pull the display data cable from its socket on the display assembly.

    Step 25: Use the tip of a spudger to unplug bracket of the thermal sensor small cable near display data cable.

    Carefully remove scotch tape covering thermal sensor. Using iSesamo or flat tip of the spudger carefully peel the thermal sensor away.

    pzhivulin - Replica

    omg - forgot to switch the termal sensor from the old display...

    now fan runs like crazy...

    The key thing is to never put any force on the opening tool when working through the tape. Just roll it back and forth with ease.

    Noah Ralston - Replica

    Would be good data to show the 3 areas (wifi antennas where the "tape" is larger and covers them. The rest of the "tape" is 1.4" and easy. Also after removing the display, be sure to remove the old "tape" from both the display and the rubber parts of the case. Use the spudger to start an end and it should pull off easily. Careful on the baackside of the display as you can scratch off the black paint/covering.

    • Bien que l'outil permette de découper l'essentiel de la mousse adhésive, il est probable que l'écran continue d'adhérer légèrement au boîtier. Vous aurez besoin d'une carte plastifiée pour découper le reste de la mousse adhésive.

    • Posez l'iMac à l'envers sur une table.

    • En partant de l'angle supérieur droit de l'iMac, insérez une carte en plastique entre l'écran et le châssis.

    • Ne l'enfoncez pas de plus d'un centimètre, vous pourriez endommager les composants internes.

    this step is extremely important NOT to stick in the cards too far….. doing so, you risk a 600 euro replacement as I experienced………

    During the reassembly process I found it very difficult to plug the power/data cable on to the new hard drive. On my machine it’s very short and the fact that the cable comes into the plug from below at 90 degrees means it’s hard to keep straight on to the drive. I found this process could be made much easier by undoing 2 x T10 screws and CAREFULLY (there are cables attached) moving the adjacent speaker assembly a little away from the drive, reattaching once done. Hope this helps

    Arispa Weigold - Replica

    Great guide. I wanted to upgrade my late 2012 as much as I could to accommodate my large iTunes library. So with a little bit of cutting on the rubber hard drive cushion, I put a 15mm 5 TB hard drive and replaced the 120GB blade SSD with OWC’s 1 TB blade SSD. Now have 5.95 TB of fast usable space with my fusion drive.

    I couldn’t get the SATA cable connected again with the rubber sleeve on. Luckily my iMac had it in two separate pieces to stick to the long sides only, so I plugged it in first and carefully attached the bumpers after.

    Max Romano - Replica

    What’s the trick to connect the SATA cable to the disk?? There’s very little play in the connector. Am unable to position it properly to get a connection. Maybe my fingers are too large.

    Also, the photos are a bit misleading with regard to disconnecting the data display cable - show tweezers pulling on the distal end of the cable, which, is very fragile. Pictures should be improved and better description of that step added.

    Success! For those contemplating this, it takes some persistence and a perfect diagonal positioning of the SATA cable connector to attach the hard drive. Geez - Apple always seems to make things so easy for us average joes and janes.

I had to spend some time in the installation of the OS, care is required and attention to restoring a good backup is necessary. I had great success and would recommend undertaking this task. Many thanks IFIXIT.

    Successfully replaced harddrive when original crashed in Big Sur upgrade. Excellent instructions.

    Heikki Hanhimaki - Replica

    Is the hard drive you remove accessible once removed? Can you pull data off the drive once removed? Great job explaining the removal process.

    Paul - Replica

    Paul, you would have to get a external case inclosure to install the drive into. There are USB and SATA versions.

    Since I unplugged a SATA cord to remove, will I need a SATA case? Gonna connect to new 24” iMac (M1) and try and grab the pics and music.

    The IFIXIT kit I bought included a SATA case, which I used to pull the data off the old hard drive which was on its last legs. Thank you, IFIXIT!

    This was my first attempt at opening an iMac for anything but RAM upgrade (when it was possible easily on older iMacs). I too took it easy and slow. Replacing the hard drive was the easiest part of all this! The hardest part, which I'm still struggling with, was unplugging and replugging the display data and power cables. I was able to install an OS on the new SSD but in order to close the machine I had to unplug the display cables, and it seems that one of them did not seat properly, since the computer starts up but the display is black. Sigh. I will have to do the cutting and pasting of the glue strips all over again. Apple really doesn't want us doing these repairs.

Is there a problem with the fan if I install SSD?

asrugo770 - Replica

Yes. There is a thermal sensor, which is going crazy after replacement.

And also have a problem with kernel_task after upgrade...

is there a solution about the termal sensor and the kernel_task issue?

I’ve run into the same thing: fans are running constantly with a new 1 TB 2.5” drive that I pulled from a 2012 iMac. I can use MacsFanControl as a 3rd party fix, but if anyone has a better (command line?) solution, I would be grateful!

SSD Fan Control is doing the job perfectly !

Jose Vilar -

Thank you for posting this. Awesome! I am an IT Admin at a school and have Techie Students that help with the smaller things. One of the iMacs went bad. I had him follow this guide and he was able to replace the hard drive successfully!! Thank you!

What do you have to do with the temp sensor to make the fans behave normally after installing a SSD in an originally hard drive based iMac?

Andrew spoelstra - Replica

Install the SSD into the HD bay and download the SSD Fan Control application to avoid fan noise (easier, but less legitimate)

Install the SSD into the HD bay with the OWC thermal sensor (Extremely difficult, considerably more expensive, but works properly). Link for thermal sensor: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIDI.... Link for SSD Fan Control: http://exirion.net/ssdfanctrl/

You should have installed the OWC inline thermal sensor.

MacFans is the only other solution.

This guide is for the Mid-2014 21.5” 2808 machine, which does not have any thermal sensor on the STANDARD 2.5’” HDD. I just completed mine, and it’s totally silent, no fan issues as I’m typing this. I suggest some of the peeps above are posting in the wrong guide, and may have 27” machines with 3.5” HDD with the thermal sensor issue. A great guide, well written and illustrated, excellent 10/10.

Phil Reed - Replica

Exactly. I just replaced my HD with an SSD and absolutely no fan noice.

Also a 21.5” imac a1418 emc 2805.

Pretty straight forward repair.

Christian Tørring -

I’ve just replaced the internal HDD by a Samsung 850 Pro SSD 256 GB. There is no need for any special cable, thermal sensor or additional software, the SSD runs fine. Model is a Mid 2014 iMac 21.5”, EMC 2805, 1.4 GHz i5, no Fusion Drive.

The issue with the fan is easily sorted with the software solution SSDfancontrol is free and works 99% of the time for me.

Outstanding kit by iFixit for replacing the HHD.

Great guide, I followed it step by step and had no problem but one: when reinserting the cable into the new SSD, I had no room for my fingers. I had to loose the black plastic cover to the left in order to have a bit more room and succeeded.

Then, I added an extra check before sealing the screen, powering on the Mac just to be sure I reconnected correctly the screen cables.

Now the Mac is super fast!

Good guide, thank you very much :-)

Dariusz - Replica

Thanks for the manual and the parts/tools to do this repair. It took me a lot more time than listed though :-)

Pour faciliter le décollage, après avoir passé la roulette, j'insére tout autour des bandes de plastique dur de 2cm de large découpées sans un classeur en plastique. Ceci évite que ca recolle et l'écran se lève sans difficulté
