very to the point and useful

this guy talks way too much on the videos

thanks, that was very informative. I used your video to replace my hard drive.

Where can I find rubber Cement??

Went to Lowes & Radio Shack and I could find it. Asked employees in both stores and they looked at me like, WHAT??

will use this video for reference. I’m going to take out the old 160GB HDD to put in a 500GB HD. Built PC’s in the past but never taken apart my iMac. A but nervous though.

I just need to get the Torx bit set and the rubber cement for the temp sensor for the HDD.

what version of iMac was this done on? I have a 4.1, very early 2006 20″ model that needs this upgrade.

Hello Elliot, thanks for taking the time for all to learn this.
I have a Mac that has a black vertical bar appearing/disappearing with no obvious reason.

Have you hear about this problem? Maybe a tip on what cables/components to check? Thanks for your attention.

Cheers Elliot, followed your video and now have a working 1TB drive in my, previously dead, iMac. All at 1/6 the price of Apple!!

Nice one!!!

Do you know what torques screwdriver size you got to open it?

Great video, thanks for uploading. But why would Apple make it so you have to remove the LCD just to LOOK at the hard drive, let alone replace it?

thank you really helped me alot

great vid.. love the infomation value

It is a SATA drive and I guess a glue gun would work (although it might not read the temp correctly afterwards)

is the harddrive sata or ide and also can a glue gun be use to reatach the thermal sensor on new harddrive?

Thanks for doing this tutorial, great to know there are young people out there with a productive future, this should land you a job at Apple, LOL. Keep it up!

hehy this wasw a very good and informative guide. how old are you i had money on like 15.
keep up the good info…
however i have a hard drive but it does not have the thermal sensor connection.. do newer hard drive still need that sensor?

Very informative, thanx I’ll be ripping my dead HD out soon!

I was watching another one it’s not similar at all.

Very instructive, I’ll try to replace the 160gb hard disk who came in my g5 iMac, i think the way they are dismantled are similar

great vid…

Great video thanks for making it!

thanks mate

Great instructions. Thank you very much!

Thanks, this helped perfectly!

You can also find the serial number in System Profiler. Go to the Apple and click on About This Mac. Then click on the “More Info…” button. It should appear at the bottom of the Hardware Overview.
