Replacing The HD on a 24inch iMac




















Using 2 Suction Cups in opposing corners, I remove the glass panel. This glass panel is held on using a series of magnets around the bezel. Once the glass is removed it will expose the necessary T8 Screws that need to be removed.

Once the bezel is removed you will have access to remove the 8 or so T8 screws holding down the LCD panel. Once remove the screws are removed you can lift display. Note that you will want a second set of helping hands as the display cables are still attached to hold the display as the drive is replaced.
With your second set of hands holding the display remove the 2 T8 screws holding the 3.5 inch drive from its mount. Now slide the black drive mount towards the supper drive. Next carefully remove the thermistor that is located on the drive case and disconnect the SATA and Power cables from the drive. Now Pull the drive towards you removing it from the case.
