Please feel free to add your upgrade pitfalls, tips, and advise to this post. I will post pertinent pictures into this post below. It is my hope that this “guide” will help you succeed with your upgrade and prevent major damage to your computer. I also added mistakes from other users experience resulting in damage to their iMacs during the upgrade process, the most costly of which include the screen, logic board, and CPU. In my case, this problem developed several days after a "successful" install. Faulty installation of the non-Apple NVME M.2 drive using the Sintech adapter, which can result in electrical shorting between the adapter's electrical "wiring" and the metal shield of the logic board NVME connector. Incorrect installation of CPU with the overly high tension CPU mounting spring, resulting in bending of the CPU wafer board and possibly damage to the logic board socket pins.ģ.
Screen falling off after reassembly, usually due to incorrect display adhesive strip application or use of cheap non-OEM after-market adhesive strips which can fail several days to months after iMac screen reassembly.Ģ.
