Introdução
Ir para o passo 1Use this guide to remove the logic board assembly for service.
O que você precisa
-
-
Loosen the two Phillips screws securing the access door to your iMac.
-
Remove the access door.
-
-
-
To lift the front bezel off the iMac, simultaneously:
-
Use your thumbs to press in the RAM arms and hold the iMac down.
-
Use your index fingers to pull the small bridge of material on the front bezel toward yourself.
-
Pull the front bezel up with your index fingers.
-
Once the small bridge of material has cleared the RAM arms, lift the front bezel by its lower edge just enough to clear the bottom edge of the rear case.
My iMac did not have the "small bridge of material" mentioned, however the bezel just lifted off easily.
-
-
-
Disconnect the microphone cable.
-
Disconnect the camera cable by pulling its connector away from the socket on the camera board.
I agree that for a simple, quick battery change, don't risk damaging those delicate wires. Ignore Step 6 and instead of disconnecting the mic and camera wires, keep them in place and just have a friend hold the plastic frame up while you change the battery, or prop it up as mentioned by Stefano C above.
Make sure you double check the new logic board for the presence of the GPU assembly before installing. I stupidly installed a new board without moving the GPU from the old one first. So i guess you can say this guide worked for me twice. :)

-
Remove the two T6 Torx screws securing the display data cable to the logic board.
Wait, we need a T6 screwdriver as well?
I purchased the T8 and T10 from your site as per the parts list above and now am here with an opened iMac on the dining room table unable to continue :/

-
-
Remove the eight T8 Torx screws securing the display assembly to the rear case.
It would be useful to use a torx screw driver with a long, narrow shank… some of these screws are in tight places.
It may also be useful to prop up the back so it is level. This will prevent the screws from falling inside. They can be retrieved once the scene is off.
-
-
-
Peel back the piece of EMI tape connecting the bottom edge of the right speaker to the metal frame of the iMac.
-
Peel the tape away from the lower corner of the right speaker.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both antenna connectors off their sockets on the AirPort card.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

HI hello, I´m having some problems with this iMac; can someone help me, please. I change the hard drive for a SSD, The problem is there isn´t a startup sound and also no video signal shows, when I turn on, everything is perfect, the 3 fans start running, but thats all.
I´m trying to find the possible damage part with no success.
Could be the motherboard?
Where I can buy it?
