Clear, to the point and free from irritating attention grabbers or music. This is technical advice, not entertainment.

Used to work on iMacs a lot when I was working in a college IT department! Nice to have a refresh! Thanks for the upload

still relevant today. Had one come in and was terrified to open it. Perfect video.

Thanks. Out of the several videos on disassembling an iMac I’ve seen so far, this was by far the most clear and straightforward. I appreciate it.

Thanks for this video. It was extremely helpful. I need to disassemble this particular model, and you’ve made it very simple for me!

Thanks Abraham. I'm replacing a dead HD on a friend's iMac. I would have started by attacking the screws at the bottom. Your video saved me many hours of pain

Thanks for that video. My daughter had this Mac and it had not worked for years. She wanted me to take the hard drive out and throw the computer away. There is no obvious way I was able to do it thanks to this video, I was able to do it. I have another suggestion for taking the magnetic couple frot screen off because I do not have a suction cup. I used a box cutter knife and easily wedged it in the top right-hand corner. This did not damage any of the computer. I then used a screwdriver and pushed behind the wedged blade and was it was easy to release the strong magnet couple.

This was very helpful. I used a plunger as a suction cup to remove the front glass.

Oh! That's where they keep the sugar.. Nice and instructional, I almost threw away my 27-inch mini-Mac monitor because it was overheating..Keep up making these videos..

I find it amazing that they went from having so many fans in these iMacs to just one in the newest style.

Thank you so much I needed this. Hope you are well!

Thanks for the clear and explanatory video. It's gives me a lot of confidence having built PCs and Hackingtosh machines before since the days of dual Athlon rigs. This seems doable. Time to get a not so new iMac with a busted glass for repair and upgrade.

Thank you Abraham for sharing this information. Job well done sir.

Thanks to you my MAC is now a boat anchor...all kidding aside with your help I was able to disassemble, clean, reassemble and get rid of a condition where it was over heating and shutting off the monitor. Total success saving me hundreds of $$$$. Thx

Big help, especially for people like me who need things slow.

Thanks. Great video. I wish you would have shown where the ram is located.

Thanks bro, I have done a few of these now but your advice about un-plugging it is crucial, I blew my house circuit breaker (thank God!) when I pulled the wrong power supply in error.
