My God it's informative, but just like watching paint dry

where can I order the cable?

The NVME slot was empty? IMPOSSIBLE!

great infomative vid thanks, can you please recomend what adaptor you used or a NVMe that will plug straight in? Whats the golden flim over the power supply is that essential? and could i go all out and replace the old hard drive with another SSD for storage/back up? thanks

Great instructional video, thanks for posting it on to KZfaq. Any reason why you didn't keep the 1TB HDD and make it a fusion drive setup?

so I have the late 2013 imac it has a 1tb Fusion drive in it? does that mean it has a pcie drive and a hard drive inside it?

Why the left one is white?

I having problem with my Imac 2013 model my display wont turn on but I hear the charm but no logo apple thanks and also replaced mother 3 times and still no picture on the screen and also change the bios battery and DDR 3 ram and changed the thermal on the cpu thanks please help

very very good,professional.

Hi! I have a problem with an iMac 2017, I already did everything and I can't find the solution, at first it detected the ssd with the adapter, I have a crucial 1 TB P3, I connect it to the motherboard and when I put the bootable usb with MacOs Ventura does not recognize it internally, if that same ssd I put it externally if the iMac recognizes it, I do the format externally and at the moment of putting it internally it it does not recognize it. I already installed the macOS Ventura by external means and I put it internally and it doesn't recognize it either, I don't know what to do I've been testing for a month and I have to be assembling and disassembling the iMac, I hope someone can help me, The disk utility does not recognize it, I already made the list disk and nothing does not appear the ssd m.2 nvme, I am totally blocked, do I need to do it with high sierra and then update to Ventura?

where, cant see any reballing or replacement chip...😮

A very strange decision! We removed the 3.5" disk, it would not be superfluous to store files! Well, or they would have put a regular SATA SSD 2.5" and it would have a speed of 500 mb/s

I just attached a 2T External SSD and boot from that. Not as sano as opening the machine, and not as fast but much less hassle and it screams.

Thanks for the pinout 18:07, 18:13 🤝

apple refused to fix my a1708 even though they diagnosed it with flex gate

bravoo

sarei interessato a questo tipo di lavoro sul mio iMac 27 fine 2013, lavorate anche in Italia?

400 degrees for 9 minutes

Hello i have also this problem on MacBook and i want ask what tools you use to fix your MacBook. You can write me what tools i need to buy for fixing my MacBook? Thanks!!!

Where can we get the NVMe adaptor ?!

Any mac can be easily upgraded by simply inserting it into the trash can.

Have MBP 2016/17 15" Screens in stock at all? Thanks :)

Before looking at videos like this I had a slow but valuable iMac 27" late 2015 ... Now I have a useless no value brick!😮‍💨

Where did you get that foil for the power supply? my display shortens the imac when i close it

Good good, You can recommend to me adhesive? I will thank you very much

This adapter founded at the end of NVMe in 32:45 - what is it called? Has any symbol?

what adapter for samsung nvme ssd do you use to fit in iMAC 2017 ssd slot?

why u open all the things? crazy work you do while u just can change the ssd easily?

What About The Other Cable?! I haven't seen a single mention of it in any flexgate repair video, for a good reason 😅

"The 27-inch iMac from 2014 typically does not have a standard M.2 connector for SSD storage."

Well done.

Seems criminal to me to toss the hard drive. These days you can easily find 2TB SATA SSDs for about $100. Pull the rotating hard drive and replace it with the SSD drive. After that, look up the steps to create a Fusion drive between the NVMe SSD and the SATA SSD. You will have to deal with Terminal, but the articles you will find only require you copy/paste a couple of short lines of code into Terminal to create the Fusion drive. Using a bootable USB drive to install the new OS, but first invoke Terminal from the installer to make the Fusion drive first, and after that, you install the OS on the Fusion drive. Alternatively, before you tear down the iMac, use a spare hard drive and make it a Time Machine drive, and back up your entire drive on it. After rebuilding the iMac, from the installer drive you can tell it to reinstall your old drive info from the Time Machine drive. Simple to do.

Will this be the same for a late 2012

Hey, What is the max nvme m.2 ssd storage compatibily ? I have 21.5 inch Imac late 2013 3.1 1tb i7, please help thank you!

Hello, I'm planning to have an ''operation'' on my MacBook and unfortunately I don't know what thickness of copper wire to buy? I found 0.1 or 0.02 mm on the Internet, will it be one or the other?

Great guide. What spec is the nvme drive screw? It’s not the standard one that PC motherboards use right?

how easy to remove the coating

That's expensive for a cheap second hand replacement card, €100 materials and two hours work max. I hope you flashed it to mac since if not there's significant shortcomings. No startup screen so no system picker, no second screen possible and no brightness control. Your information about baking the cards is also erroneous. I was sceptical but I've now done three by simply baking the card whole in a domestic oven at 300ºC for eight minutes. One didn't work at all (it's symptoms were different as the mac wouldn't even start until I took it out) but the other two are still going strong over two years later and one of them works 10 hour days, six days a week in a busy architects office!

Thank you so much for this video, A question, can I also put in a 1TB SSD ?

Great video. I'll be trying this myself soon on my old 2013 iMac. Does the battery need to be replaced or is it just a good idea to get it done while you're in there?

do you have any sleep issues with 3rd party SSD via an adapter, had massive problems on a late 2013 macbook pro.

Thats slow?.should have used a samsung 970 pro bud!

Greetings. When you change from sata drive to nvme, does the computer in lieu of changes to the fan/heat sensor automatically adjust to the new situation? I know the old drives had a sensor and now i assume not, so wondering what the system does with the lack of temperature. Thanks!

Hi how much is the cable I have 2017 with touch bar if that makes a difference. Apple want more than the thing is worth, especially as you have said it’s apples fault selling faulty goods

I own two of these great iMac's but it is ridiculous you have to jump thru hoops to do anything but a ram upgrade.

What tools and products do I need to do this? please

The handling of the logic board on the quilt ?….omg … and the power supply needs to be handled by its edges
