Ax2002 Led Driver For Mac

• Ax2002 Led Driver For Mac Os

Worked excellently. I used a plunger (clean first;-) to get the screen off, and for fan control. Then, i did not take out the whole display and left it in the hinges on the bottom side and held it up with two small cardboard boxes. Easy enough to disconnect the hdd then. I replaced with an ssd, put that into a ssd enclosure.

Had to drill an extra hole in it to fasten the pins that hold it in place. Used Carbon Copy Cloner to make an image from the old hdd, with the sad connected via usb. Checked it of it booted via System Preferences Startup Disk. It worked so the took the imac apart and replaced the disk. Booted, everything was working as always, only faster! Reassembly: After powering on and running for a few minutes, found a large whitish patch on the screen. Persists after powerdown.

Turned out to be condensation, though it didn't look like it - more like fine white powder rubbed in. Humidity is very high this time of the year. Fix: start airconditioner in a room, leave it running a while, take iMac in, prise open the glass again. Condensation vanishes instantly. Keep it out for a 15 minutes running infinite loops to get iMac nicely heated up and fans running. Snap glass back.

I have a late 2009 27' Mac and did something similar to Gabe, but being alone, after unplugging the vertical sync cable, I used two wooden chopsticks to hold the screen at about 45° and without disconnecting any more cables I could quite easily access the Superdrive to remove and replace with a 240GB SSD with help from a caddy from TheNatural2020, which required a tiny modification. All in all it took me about 45 minutes and was much easier than expected. It is working at a negotiated SATA speed of 3 Gbps Some report a speed of only 1.5 Gbps, but from what I had read before purchasing the Crucial M500, going for a 6 Gbps SSD is worse on a late 2009 Mac as it has to default to the basic SATA 1 speed of 1.5 Gbps, while the slower 3 Gbps SATA II drive works at 3 Gbps. The time from the Apple logo till the sign-in screen on startup has gone from 33.5 seconds to 8.5 secs, and my internal hard drive is a 7200rpm I am VERY satisfied and it was much easier than expected. Thanks for this suggestion! I didn't have chopsticks, but was able to use some pens instead.

The pens are shorter, but still provided sufficient room for my tools to get to the screws holding the HD. I noticed there are two large, thumb size, indentations in the frame under the LCD that the pens fit into nicely. Since I did the repair by myself, this really sped up the process and I was able to complete the HD swap and memory addition in about 25 minutes.

(I had planned 2 hours. Happy, happy, happy!). This was for me the hardest step when reassembling the iMac. I had to open and close the iMac several times as each time some of the cables was not properly connected: The vertical sync, the display data cable connector, even the Bluetooth antenna was off at some point and I had to re-open every time! Finally I left the vertical sync cable disconnected as with each operation it was in very bad condition and impossible to plug in.

I'm amazed at how bad designed is this cable and how easy is to break it! It's nice to know that they improved it, poor technicians. I'd like to replace it in the future but I really don't know how or if it is available in its more up-to-date version I didn't feel like dissasembling everything again to see how is it connected.

The portion of this little cable that plugs into the receptor is stiffer than the rest of the cable, but it is very slippery. For me, it was also very tight. Tweezers and fingers just slipped right off of it. Fortunately, I didn't tear the cable. I ended up using needle-nose pliers wrapped with cellophane to get traction. It was also very difficult to reinsert.

By raising the display to the maximum level with all the other cables connected, I was able to push it in with my fingers. Also: if you get any smudges on the display, a lens pen works great to remove them. I used a swiffer to pick up dust. I ran into a big problem with step 7: my display data cable did not have any sort of plug to connect to the logic board. Instead, the cable seemed to be soldered onto the board or simply run under this small copper-colored band. There was no plastic plug to detach/attach. I was afraid to pull on the cable and break something, so I simply had a friend hold up the LCD and I replaced the logic board without removing the display.

I'm not sure what I would have done if I needed to replace the drive. Has anyone else run into this issue where the display data cable doesn't have a plug? And are there alternative ways to detach it safely? Be very very careful when you pull out this plug as it is extremely fragile and also reattaching the LCD thermal sensor plug and very very gently ensure that the pins are actually going into the connector before you push the plug in.

I damaged the top part of the plastic housing which then made it difficult to insert the plug into the connector. I can't believe how easy it was to damage this connector!! If you don't attach the LCD thermal sensor plug correctly the Mac fans will go crazy at full speed. It took a good 15 minutes to get the pins to finally go into the plug and they can bend easily. My iMac has a dark left side of the screen, I tried the fiddle with the left corner connector trick but that did nothing. I noticed the user had the display set to full brightness to get a useable image on the screen, this issue may have caused the Power Supply failure not sure, the cheaper easier fix would be to replace this board, but I don't want to replace the board if that is not the issue. For folks who had a bad board was the screen not working at all or did you get a half lighted screen like I mentioned above?
