hello everyone please welcome and join me Easy Steps I'm going to share with
you today iMac 27 inch I'm going to replace hard drive to a solid-state drive
SSD so two things I'm going to share with you how to remove the screen in
easy steps the easiest way to do is with the proper
tools if you don't have tools what you need to do you use your nails if you
have a credit card handy that will be the best thing to work with but before
anything you do with your nails just hold it up here at one end and if you
can push it like this a little bit on the screen if I can show it you look at
this if I can close in and there is a gap appears so this is what I wanted
to show it to you so this much we are already in so once we make a little
gap with the fingernail so just insert a credit card or something so it won't
push it back if you don't have a credit card you can use it you know to see it
drops it down like that so now we can go back and pull it just hold it from the
side don't put your finger inside so you get your fingerprints, pick from the bottom
and now you take this glass out, put the glass in a safe place so you need to
use a t8 x50mm screwdriver if we start from here I will open it one and I will
do the same thing with the rest we need to remove eight screws four on this side
and four in this side once the screws are removed then you have to be very
gentle and very careful where's the magnets are you just grab the magnet and
you pull it now I'm going to show you on the back what things we need to remove
it's a wire we need to unhook it from this end
with nails putting right underneath these tabs
you pull this one out then now is a display so in easy to remove it
these are two sides you need to press in once you press in it
that releases the lock and it's open it so that's how you do it you need to
press from both sides and that's where it will release the display cable this
sensor cable you pull it off and it comes out now we need to remove by
pressing it down once we press it, it unlocks it you pull it out make sure to
hold it from the side edges not to put your fingerprints on your screen
and take this one out just lifting it up please make sure that you put this
the screen on a dirt-free ESD control space so now I'm going to remove your hard
drive and I'm going to replace it with the SSD a quick tip once you had open it
your iMac and the fans are really dirty you can brush them off and blow the air
and the same thing there is an another fan on this one you can do the same
thing same screwdriver for two screws which are holding the bracket we're
going to unplug these cables the SATA the power tilted towards you and
hold this one up out of the bracket so there is another sensor cable that you
just pull it out to need the enclosure for SSD and these of the two screws
which I removed from the older hard drive and this is the bracket I removed it from here
so once we put it back everything in a place now I'm going to bring up the
screen so now I'll bring it back and slowly you put it up there that this one
is easy just put it up there and press it in makes sure that it is securely
connected and this is one of the smaller one
these are cables are so tiny so it's kind of tedious work when you do it but if
you know what you're doing and now we're going to go back to the power and make
sure it's locked in and now the other cable at the top you just make sure that
you come down here and you put it and press it down and that's basically it
and now we're going to push it back slowly this is like that make sure that
it's all aligned properly the power on and share don't tighten the screws
because it will be going to get an aligned and sometimes what happens if this
one doesn't get aligned then you get a flat screwdriver you put it right up
here and you lift the screen up a little a bit but in my case is a perfectly fine
aligned all those put all the screws eight of these they tighten that so
now we going to put the front glass they slides in at the bottom then you go back
and make sure that you put your fingers underneath and the slowly you release it
that's it snapping and on the camera you just press it a little bit and
that's how it's easy and simple so that's how easy you replace your hard
drive on the iMac 27-inch or if your screen is broken
that's a way to replace the screen as well and don't get discouraged if you don't
have a proper tool suction cups they are always handy they are always I
advise going with the proper tool but when it comes to easy steps everything
is easy so make sure you follow easy steps and I'm going to see you soon with
the new things first of all easy steps thank you bye bye
