iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639 SATA Cable Replacement

Introdução

Use this guide to replace the HD SATA cable or to add it if your system was originally configured with a Blade SSD only so you can add a second drive.

O que você precisa

  1. iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639 SATA Cable Replacement, Display: passo 1, imagem 1 %32
    Ferramenta utilizada neste passo:
    iMac Intel 27" Cardboard Service Wedge
    $4.99
    Comprar

    • With the hinge free to move, the iMac will be unbalanced and hard to work on. Repairs can be completed with the iMac laying down, but are faster and easier with an iMac service wedge.

    • If you are using the iFixit cardboard service wedge, follow these assembly directions to put it together.

    • Starting on the left of the display, near the power button, insert the iMac Opening Tool into the gap between the glass panel and the rear case.

    • The hub on the iMac Opening Tool will keep you from pushing the wheel in too far. If using a different tool, insert no more than 3/8" (9.5 mm) into the display. You risk severing antenna cables and causing serious damage.

    • Use the tool like a pizza cutter—roll it along through the gap, and it will cut the foam adhesive through the center.

    • Be sure to always push with the handle behind the cutting wheel. If you pull, the wheel might get pulled out of the handle.

    • Run the tool up along the left side of the display.

    • While the opening tool did the lion's share of the work, the display will still be slightly adhered to the case. A plastic card will be necessary to free up the last of this adhesive.

    • Set the iMac face-up on a table.

    • Starting from the top right corner of the iMac, insert a plastic card between the display and frame.

    • Be careful not to insert it more than 3/8" (9.5 mm), or you may damage internal components.

    • Gently twist the plastic card to open the space between the display and frame, and cut any remaining adhesive near the corner.

    • Using too much force will crack the glass. Work carefully, and don't try to create a gap any larger than about 1/4" (6 mm).

    • Only lift the display a few inches—it is still attached to the iMac by data and power cables.

    • With the cards inserted as shown near the corners, gently twist the cards to increase the gap between display and case.

    • If there are any sections that seem to stick and won't separate, stop twisting and use one of the cards to cut the adhesive in the problem area.

    • Begin to lift the top of the display up from the frame.

    • While holding the display up with one hand, use the other to unplug the display power cable.

    • Lift the display up enough to have easy access to the connections, but not so much that you stretch the cables and stress their connections (about 8").

    • Lift the display up to a near-vertical position.

    • At this point there is still a strip of adhesive along the bottom of the display, that will hold the display to the frame like a hinge. You can loosen this adhesive by working the display up and down a few times.

    • Remove as much of the adhesive as possible by grabbing it at the outer edges, and then pulling or rolling it towards the middle.

    • Be very careful handling the display—it's big, heavy, and made of glass. The display has fragile edges. Avoid lifting the display by the corners.

    • Lift the display up from the frame and remove it from the iMac. Lay the display face down on a flat, soft surface.

    • It may be necessary to slowly lift from one side, to peel against the remaining adhesive.

    • After the adhesive is cut, it cannot be used to re-seal the display in place. Follow this guide when your repair is complete to replace the adhesive strips that secure the display to the rear enclosure.

    • If you are replacing the display panel, you may need to transfer additional components from the old panel to the new one. Compare the back of the old display with the replacement display. Note all cables, sensors, and foam cushioning that are missing from the new display.

    • If there is a wire or cable underneath adhesive tape, always pull the tape off first.

    • If the cable is glued to the chassis, use a heated iOpener or a hair dryer to soften the adhesive first. You can then slide an opening pick underneath the cable to loosen it. Never pull directly on the delicate connectors.

    • Slide an opening pick underneath the foam cushion pieces to separate them from the display, and gently pull them off. You may need some double sided tape to re-attach them to the new display.

Hi,

If I buy a model with only ssd drive and I add a hard disk,is the sata cable present inside the iMac?

Thank you

Antonio - Responder

I have the same question.

glennfeldt -

I took the plunge and bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD to get some more storage space in my iMac. (when I bought the iMac I configured it with a 250gb SSD only) After some research I figured out that I had to buy a SATA cable as there is none pre-installed cable with my configuration. Nor does it come with a HDD cradle/bracket, but I solved that with two strips of super sticky double sided tape to mount the drive.

When booted up and logged in a message popped up telling me that it had found the new SSD drive and wanted to format it. So I formatted it and it works great.

Oh, and if you have one of those very thin plastic "credit card/business card" you will be just fine using that to separate the display from the body. No need for a guitar plectrum or the "pizza cutter" shown in this tutorial.

No. At least, not on a Late 2013 iMac 27".

Hello,

anybody knows, where should I buy this SATA cable, since I also would like to take one more SSD to my iMac.

I have got a Late 2013 iMac 27 with SSD from factory.
