[iMac A1311 HDD replacement and disassembly method STEP 1]
When you press the power button on your iMac, it will sound a jagged sound and the apple mark will come out, but it won't go, it will freeze.
After the apple mark, it shuts down suddenly.
In the case of symptoms such as folder marks coming out, the possibility of failure or failure of HDD or OS is the highest.
Hdd is basically a consumable, but i recommend that you take a regular backup before causing a defect and then replace it with a new hard disk.
It becomes expensive when you ask the manufacturer to repair it, and the data will be erased, so it seems that the number of people who disassemble it by yourself and repair it is increasing.
This time I would like to disassemble the HDD take-out of iMac A1311 EMC 2389 for such a person, so please refer to it!
