iFixit: iMac Intel 27" Disassembly

[jman781]

I think I just got seasick from the overuse of video effects! : |

[livingshangrila]

Does this void the warrantee?

[filmo]

rehashed animation of the stills from their website tear down. Adds nothing.

[iFixitYourself]

@filmo In fairness, this video was posted two years ago. We changed our format in November of last year, and I think you'd agree that it's much better now. Check out one of our recent videos and let us know what you think!

[filmo]

@iFixitYourself I still think that a video that is just all of your stills strung together doesn't really offer much in the way of 'new' information or usefulness. Don't get me wrong, the site is great and the page with the still and analysis was fantastic. It was just disappointing to to watch a video that was not of the 'live motion' tear down. Part of the advantage of video over stills is that you can see how parts wiggle in and out of spaces and get a better sense of how to tear one down

[iFixitYourself]

@filmo You're absolutely right. Which is why we've changed the format. :) We do "live motion" teardowns now. Like I suggested, watch one of our newest videos and tell us what you think! :)

[PiJoKra]

Funny banjo music, boring vid

[Armaangandevia1]

have a question on 21.5inch where is the cpu (like top left top right bottom right bottom left middle etc)

[Murdocke89]

Terrible music!

[StarsNdStraps]

Yeeeehawww

[yourtearsmysweat]

CHEESE!

[theoharis27]

And how did u put them back together ?

[matfotografia]

CRAP

[johnmacward]

The Celtic / Americana music is cool - reminds me of Bela Fleck.

[elorasmom]

Thanks for the help!! Sorry so many vulgar spewing buttheads have to be so rude and tacky!!

[flyingtrace]

is it possible to change a Imacs video card for better gaming?

[WildoTheRubberFist]

The people that have an issue with your tear down video are dumb... its rather simple and there is a pause button if you need it.

I would have liked a another shot of removing the glass, from an lower angle, but its no big deal.

[Summer221100]

Tolles Video für´n Arsh. Kannst nix sehen.

Korrect: WORST FUCKING TEAR DOWN VIDEO EVER

[dieselboi91]

WORST FUCKING TEAR DOWN VIDEO EVER

[burnstagger]

Could do without the fucking Celtic music thanks.

[newfablesam]

how informative. not.

[Nunsweepit421]

For Fuck Sake. A slide show with fucking hillbilly music!!!  FAIL.

[thatsnazzyappleguy]

@Nunsweepit421 HAHAHA agreed

[heggerud]

Well. This was useless.

[9SLR2]

I WONT FUCKING WATCH THIS WIDEO WITH THIS MUSIC!

[chinchillarabbit]

nice job taking it apart now put it together again lol

[NanoVinnie]

wtf with the song?

[johannchungsaojing]

One poor iMac

[MrOvercl0ck]

[sbvikings30]

[Armaangandevia1]

[kiwiboy2012]

[mxunil]

yes and no?? what do you mean by that??

[mxunil]

Sorry guys...lame question:

is it possible to change the ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB on the iMac27 ?? ..if so...do apple stores upgrade video cards?

thx

[bobmamipoko]

yes and no

[BradanKAnderson]

They use the mobile 4-series cards, but I'm almost 100% you probably won't be able to do it because there is no way they would put that beefy 4850 heatsink on the lower end models. You'd need to get a heatsink too.

You're best bet would be to buy/sell for a different model.

[Bail77]

Very fast transitions , but good job ! .

[GadgetSuperHero]

these are pictures from the internet, ive seen these same pictures

[technodarkness84]

i think you just voided your warrenty

[Armaangandevia1]

@technodarkness84 nope its when you DAMAGE some thing inside you void your waternty i did this and the apple dude said ya you got warranty

[CriticShrute]

Dude,

Learn how to use transitions!

BTW, nice beat!

[2000pcman]

:V :V

[jack390]

lol you should have thought about that before :P...haha just watch the video backwards i guess :S

[kevinwashere12345]

@iDiggMGL You should never open up you Mac for it ruin or dirupts your warranty. You need a certified Apple Specialist like PowerMax to do for you. But for now you're basically screwed.

[iDiggMGL]

@kevinwashere12345 Relax dude I was joking because they don't have a reassemble video up. I would never take my iMac apart because it perfect.

[stefan98TH]

@iDiggMGL your fault!

[iDiggMGL]

@stefan98TH I was only joking.

[NanoVinnie]

@iDiggMGL idiot

[iDiggMGL]

@NanoVinnie I'm getting sick of saying I was joking. You know, if you look a couple comments down, you see me say it? Idiot, indeed.

[nehalvpatel]

@iDiggMGL

TechRestore will help you

[iDiggMGL]

@nehalvpatel No, I didn't really do this. I thought it'd be funny to say that because there is no reassembly video.

[ApplyPieable]

@iDiggMGL watch the video backwards

[SOMEBILO1]

do you think you could take the camera from this and put it on the ipod touch??

not that i would be stupid enough to do it but....

[elmariachi304]

I've read some stupid youtube comments, but this one takes the cake. Are you 9 years old or something?

[ezrawwedp]

Are you serious?

[EverythingISTech]

nope cuz you will need to program it to work

[AddolfHittler]

Nice music 5/5!

[willow0129]

the song is an old timey American folk tune called Red-Haired Boy.

FYI :-)

[jespdj]

Why this annoying music?

[macjsus]

I would be scared I might break something, I would never do this. LOL!

[neerajx86]

Its like ripping off Megan Fox or Audrie Hepburne from foot to foot. Gross!!!

[TheLagoNero]

what is this song ???

[77freely]

How many Ram slots is it in the new 27" iMac????

[mbowietube]

I do believe it's four.

[77freely]

Awesome

[TechShow100]

@77freely 4 ram slots my friend...

[tuckerjeffrey]

I got to Darn DIZZY watching this terrible VIDEO. Bluegrass SUCKS too. guess you can tell I am not enjoying this video..at all....

[witchdoctor88]

Somebody's been a bad little monkey and used the Fade transition a little too fucking much! :-)

[andeify]

anoying music! too quick and wavey! - use less effects

[repietza]

Nice, but would love to see an actual video of the dissaembly instead of slide shows.

[SooneyEmcee]

What happened to just showing the pictures, I'm still feeling queezy (And barely had time to see what happened)?

[aznloverkid]

hairy guy.

[FreeAgentsProds]

whoa!! How did you create this super hot slideshow !!! The transitions are so nice!!!

[xaraxen]

Somebody can't work without some music.

[evildwarf]

BANJO!

[ukelbarto]

Should have been a faster video teardown not a slideshow with faster louder mad banjo music..... :-D

[guitaristguy20]

A little too fast.

[samh004]

The music gave me a headache, but great to see inside that thing!

[aguauno]

tercero :P

[splashx]

SEGUNDO! :p

[Th3Sixth]

PRIMERO!
