Replacing the #HardDrive portion of the #FusionDrive in this 2019 #Apple #iMac with an #SATA #SSD. We determined it wasn't worth the cost to upgrade the PCIe SSD. I didn't have a 2.5"/3.5" adapter to mount the new drive, so I used a lot of double-sided tape instead. It came out pretty good!

Replacing a 2017 #MacBookPro #battery using the "string" method. No heat, no solvent. #Apple sure doesn't make it easy. They put a little part of the battery under the logic board, just enough that you have to unscrew it and flex it out of the way. #ifixit #mac #macfixer #macrepair #computerupgrade

Upgrading my #CDRipping #DriveTower from #USB2 to #USB3. I use a 10 port USB hub, and plus a separate USB3 to #eSATA adapter into each port. Then each white adapter gets it's own small eSATA to #SATA adapter. Then a regular SATA cable connecting that to the #OpticalDrive. #CDTransfer #CDCopy

ColdMac is an old iMac that lives outside in my shed, logs thermal data about itself, and runs it's own web server, so it can host it's own web page!

Upgrading a 2012-2019 era #Apple #iMac from a #harddrive to an #SSD. This is an upgrade I used to do all the time a few years ago. But these days, it's pretty rare. Newer Apple-CPU iMacs (2020+) cannot be upgraded :(

Replacing the display on a 2019 #Apple #MacBookPro. Be careful with those plastic camera blockers, they can impact the screen when you close the lid and crack the display!
