      Almost everything you need to do the job

      Posted by Carl on 9th Jan 2021

      Bought this kit to replace the dying HDD in my 2015 iMac with an SSD. It's a very good quality kit (I've reviewed the thermal sensor on its own) and it does the job. The OWC video is fine, although the modifications required for later iMacs that have the microphone in a different place seems a bit of a bodge, leaving some of the middle part of the display un-adhered (you are advised to remove 10cm of a bottom strip). In the video it shows the adhesive strips being aligned with screwdrivers through the holes in the strips to the holes in the chassis and I assumed that the two screwdrivers supplied would be used for this but they are too thick to go into the holes. I had to go and find two very small pins (hex keys actually) to do this part. Perhaps they could include a couple of plastic pins in the kit to do this to save the user having to go and rummage for small screwdrivers/pins? With the stress of having to part the screen from the chassis (which actually went well despite my worries) I wasn't happy with just doing the modification and closing it up before checking it worked, so I put the new strips on (having removed all traces of the original strips from both the chassis and the display) but didn't remove the second protection strip. I then laid the iMac it on its back, connected the display and laid it on the chassis, and checked that everything worked as expected (it did, apart from I had to re-make the Fusion drive, as it showed two separate drives). I then carefully lifted the display with the ribbon cables still attached, pulled off the protection strips from all the adhesive and finally fitted the display to the chassis, as in the video. I'd recommend lining up the bottom edge VERY carefully with the chassis before lowering it onto the strip. When I did mine, the adhesive on the display grabbed the chassis edge while it wasn't quite lined up. I was reluctant to pull it off and re-locate it in case it pulled part of the adhesive strip off the display and rippled it (the strip) which might have caused a bulge of strip, so my display is about 10 thou (0.25mm) offset at the bottom. It looks fine but I can feel it when I run my fingers down the edge. Hey ho, it's stuck very firmly and doesn't affect the operation.

      Hard drive upgrade kit

      Posted by Tobster on 9th Oct 2020

      Kit worked really well ensuring the hard drive swap was really straightforward. A must have if you plan on changing the hard drive for an SSD one

      Tape _almost_ as original

      Posted by Unknown on 19th Jan 2020

      The kit works great. The only downside is that the tape makes it more difficult to reopen the computer (if that will be needed). The original tape used on the iMac is thicker and has a fluffy center, which makes the sliding into the tape with the "pizza-cut-tool" rather easy. Removing a screen taped with the OWC kit tape is rather more difficult than that. It seems, however, that all tape kits available are similar in this respect. PS Next time I'm opening an iMac I will plug the computer in and try to restart it when all the tape pieces are in place, but before I actually attach the screen to the sides and upper tape strips. Last time I accidently tugged on a cable (while fiddling around with removing the plastic on the tape pieces) and detached the cable from the motherboard and thus needed to reopen the computer (and order a new tape kit…) DS

      Posted by DJ on 17th Dec 2019

      Did the job as required. Screen adhesive tape handily marked up. *NB I found I didn't need the iHeavy Duty Suction Cups to carry out the task.
