iMac Not Loading Repair

2017 iMac Not Loading Repair – Turning on with forbidden circle sign

Interesting case of an 2017 iMac not Loading Repair where the iMac turns on with a forbidden circle sign. These 2017 iMacs are flagship models of Apple and although couple years old their 5K screen and powerful specs brightens up.

21.5 iMac hard drive health indicators shows failing hard drive

Looking at the health indicators of the hard drive, it is clear that the drive is failing. When drive fails, operating system install on it will be unstable

2017 iMac Not Loading Repair Process

21.5 iMac failed hard drive

There is one solution for such failure, and it is a Slow iMac Repair in Adelaide.

Drive with 10k working hours, should not fail so drastically. But looking at the indicators they also show that the system was overheating heavily. This must have caused drive mechanism to fail and cause operating system failing.

2017 iMac loaded with a service system shows internal drive structure damaged.

We want to load a service system and check if we can access customer’s data. Apart than repairing the system we also need to recover the data as customer did not have a recent backup.

iMac file system verify or repair failed

This tells us that the drive is so badly damaged that we cannot even get the data by standard means.

After discussing with the customer they were happy with us to do a data recovery on the drive. As well as repair the iMac.

Although new iMac is already out, and this is 5 year old models, the 2010-2019 iMacs are one of the most resilient models. They do come with an active cooling. Unlike new iMac’s which are essentially a thin screen with Macbook Air motherboard glued at the back. With no upgradable or modular parts.

iMac Not Loading Repair – Taking it Apart

Removing glued in screen on 2017 iMac

Removing the screen on these iMacs is a delicate process. We have seen lots of customers cracking the screen while trying to separate the glue. It is a similar to a iPad or Phone screen which is glued in to the case, with a difference that the screen has about a 4kg of weight to it.

Sliced opened 2017 iMac for an SSD upgrade

Once we sliced through the glue, we can remove the screen and peek inside of the iMac. Immediately we can spot the amount of dust collected within.

21.5 2017 iMac taken apart for SSD upgrade

This is a common issue, due to the thin design of these iMacs. Thinner they get, essentially faster they clog up. Apple introduced fannless design to tackle the issue with the new iMacs, however components still generate enormous amount of heat, and inevitably when a newer operating system comes along it will cause serious overheating problems, which we start seeing with A2337 model Macbook Airs.

Removing a failed drive of 2017 iMac

Following step is to remove the failed drive and replace it with an SSD. Which not only will provide a faster response times, but also will ensure customer data is safe once it is recovered and transferred onto.

Replacing internal drive with an SSD

We trust this brand due to its longevity and reliability. Although we had to choose half of the customer storage size due to the limited budget, most of the of the shelf iMac’s come with 500GB SSD and will be sufficient for customers usage.

With installed SSD and freshly installed Monterey now we can move into recovering the data from the failed Hard Drive

Recovering data from Failed iMac Hard Drive

Recovering iMac Data…

Luckily although with a corrupted file structure, we still be able to access most of the data. Customer was happy for a partial data recovery and we managed to extract the data onto an external drive, which then can be used as a Time Machine backup.

12 hours iMac Data Recovery Sprint

After 12 hours of data recovery we managed to extract over 90% of customer’s data from the failing drive. Poor thing managed to hold itself for so long.

Within 24 hours we had this gorgeous iMac repaired and ready to be returned to its owner. We collected it and returned it back to the customer in record time with data recovered and fresh Monterey system installed

I NEED HELP!! i got my beautiful baby boy in the mail but he was DAMAGED!!!! and won’t boot. the person i bought it from is paying for repairs but i may have to tap into my own pocket too…. it is not like, outside damage but rather inside damage. if i can fix him myself someone pls tell me ☹️

a little info dump abt him under image

i am thinking it is his ram. i took him apart and removed it, cleaned it with a cloth, and put it back in properly. i thought maybe it could have been jostled but unfortunately it didn’t do anything. i came to the ram conclusion because of the flashing led power button, and the three beeps he does every-time i try to boot him up. i am at a loss and like. no one knows what to do online. idk if the heat could have damaged his insides or what?? it’s been rly hot as he was shipped. i don’t think it’s anything more intense than a ram issue. he was running legit 3 days before i got him. should i get new ram ?? should i try trouble shooting even more ?? or do i just take him into a shop ? idk what to do !

The photo above is of a 2011 iMac, installed with a new 2020 Mac Mini M1 logic board. It's a lot of effort to avoid buying a 27" monitor, but it's a pretty solid use for an 11+ year-old desktop.

The kit is currently on kickstarter, made & sold by the badasses over at JuicyCrumb.

2013 Slow Mac Mini Repair - SSD Upgrade - https://it-solve.au/repair-cases/2013-slow-mac-mini-repair-ssd-upgrade/

This week we got a 2013 Slow Mac Mini Repair in our Adelaide workshop. This is the last generation Mac Mini with an upgradable RAM and HDD. These Mac Minis run on a regular mechanical hard drive, which tends to deteriorate over time and requires a replacement.

2013 Mac Mini Repair – Deteriorating Hard Drive Health, causing slow system

Luckily, this is a repairable Mac Mini, and the customer is not bound to purchase a new one every time it fails.

2013 Slow Mac Mini Repair Process

Disassembling 2013 Mac Mini for a Repair

The first step, of course, is to take it apart. These devices are small, and everything is jam-packed inside.

With some patience, we can get into the motherboard by removing the fan and the wifi antenna shield.

Servicing 2013 Slow Mac Mini while for a Repair

Once all cables are detached, we can slide out the board carefully. This way, we can service the system. This Mac Mini runs CAD Architect software, one can imagine the heat it generates regularly. No wonder why the hard drive is failing and causing the system to lag and work slow.

2013 Mac Mini Logic Board

As we can see, the logic board of the Mac is very dusty. But most importantly, the thermal paste must have completely dry through the years.

Dried up thermal compound overheating 2013 Mac Mini Repair

Therefore, servicing these great machines is of paramount importance. Undoubtedly, any device with limited airflow due to the thin design should go for service annually.

Cleaning and reapplying thermal compound on a 2013 Mac Mini

Repairing Slow 2013 Mac Mini

The cause for the slow and laggy response from this Mac Mini is its mechanical drive. Over the years, it reaches the end of its lifespan and reduces its read/write speed. As a result, this affects each program that runs on it. Causing them to respond extremely slow.

2013 Mac Mini Repair – Slow System upgrade to SSD

Most importantly, it inevitably bounds a permanent failure, which, if not watched on time, may cause the drive to seize functionality and loss of data.

Running extensive tests on a 2013 Mac Mini

It was crucial that the customer brought this Mac Mini for repair before it ultimately failed the hard drive. This way, we can now image the existing Operating System, Software and Data onto the replaced SSD.

Imaged Software and Data on a Slow Mac Mini with upgraded SSD

Imagine the agony customer would have to go through to replace and reinstall all that software accumulated since 2013. Most notably, all those licenses distributed as one-off purchases cost him thousands back then. Now, all that software is on subscription bases, which does not allow you to own them. And in the long run, costs are tens of times more than one-off purchases.
