<title><![CDATA[Mac Pro First Generation: мой мак запускается все работает но изображения нет]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>При запуске мак все запускается, все кулера работают, но изображения нет. Я пробовал другую видео карту, все вынимать и похожие нужные действия, но эффекта нету</p>

<p>Чтож… Мой мак выдает красный индикатор на CPU B, который не отвечает за температуру а нижний</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/WsCx6SwBDRRGkDiw.standard" width="169" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/WsCx6SwBDRRGkDiw.huge&quot;, '', 'width=900,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>. Я пробовал поменять местами процессоры А и Б, но индикатор так и остался на Б, я предполагаю что материнская плата завершила свой срок, но хотелось бы надеяться на лучшее. У кого-то есть решение данной проблемы?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iMac 27" 2017: Setting PCI-e SSD NVME]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Здравствуйте. Помогите пожалуйста окончательно разобраться с выбором pci-e ssd. Я готов самостоятельно разобрать iMac и его заменить.</p>

<p>Но!</p>

<p>Покупать у Apple очень дорого, использовать переходники не очень хочется.</p>

<p>Transcend производит такие накопители (JetDrive 820, 825, 850, 855).</p>

<p>Внешне они похожи на blade ssd, количество контактов абсолютно одинаковое.</p>

<p>Но по непонятным причинам Transcend про поддержку iMac ничего не говорит.</p>

<p>Пожалуйста, дайте ответ на самый главный вопрос: если я куплю pci-e ssd JetDrive 820, 825, 850, 855, он ПОДОЙДЁТ или НЕТ?</p>

<p>Hello. Please help me finally understand the choice of pci-e ssd. I'm ready to disassemble the iMac and replace it.</p>

<p>But!</p>

<p>It's very expensive to buy from Apple, it's not very desirable to use adapters.</p>

<p>Transcend produces such drives (JetDrive 820, 825, 850, 855).</p>

<p>Outwardly they look like a blade ssd, the number of contacts is exactly the same.</p>

<p>But for some reason, Transcend does not say anything about iMac support.</p>

<p>Please answer the most important question: if I buy a pci-e ssd JetDrive 820, 825, 850, 855, will it PICK or NOT?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iMac Intel 27" Retina 5k Display: существуют ли новые оригинальные матрицы?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>на моем экране появились серые пятна от пыли в обоих нижних краях. насколько я знаю, в этой модели пыль невозможно очистить - или я ошибаюсь?</p>

<p>в связи с этим я решил заменить матрицу на новую но появилось два вопроса:</p>

<p>- существуют ли в принципе оригинальные матрицы и как их отличить от подделок?</p>

<p>- не появится ли пыль при установке новой матрицы?</p>

<p>для меня это важные вопросы, поскольку занимаюсь цветокоррекцией - для меня крайне важно правильное отображение цветов, и отсутствие пыли на экране.</p>

<p>заранее - спасибо!</p>

<title><![CDATA[iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 3068: Will this Adhesive tape hold, or should I reopen it and redo it?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello I have ordered the iMac 21,5 2017 HDD replacement kit. I replaced the HDD with a crucial SSD and cleaned off the old adhesive and with isopropal cloths aswell.</p>

<p>Turns out iFixit sent me one too many adhesive stripes of the same type and left the other one out. Iam missing the 02 adhesive strip and have the 01 adhesive strip two times.</p>

<p>I have now cut it in proper form and was wondering if I would have to redo this job once ifixit will provide replacement.</p>

<p>I couldnt leave it open and the glass laying around as I got a little kid at home.</p>

<p>here are some Images:</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/1qbrmEB6utkMKjuS.standard" width="282" height="211" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/1qbrmEB6utkMKjuS.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1600,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>looking forward to your replies. I really dont want to do this again. It seems like it would only be 2/3% of the adhesive strip missing, I personally think its fine as it will stand on a desk and be rarely touched.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Mac mini (2024): USB-C broken no connectivity on any usb-c port.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>As per title. I've tried the various troubleshooting steps (holding the power button down to get to the boot select, however can't do anything as it won't recognise any keyboards/mice). I've tried multiple mice/keyboards and nothing works. It's like the ports aren't supplying power at all. It's been running happily for a while since I bought one when they came out (like within a week or 2 of launch so it's likely well out of warranty now). Are there any troubleshooting steps that I'm missing? I've tried to find support articles on this but they all refer to the SMC reset but that's irrelevant for this machine as they don't have it. There is no power draw on the usb-c (every single one) so I'm assuming it's a fuse that's gone somewhere? I want to exhaust all options before getting it under the microscope. It still boots but can't do anything with it, I'd happily use it as headless machine in my homelab even if the usb-c is toast. Is there a way to remote log in to the machine. It has RDP enabled but since power cycling it I can't seem to connect as it's waiting for a user to log in. This was the primary way I was interacting with the machine before the USB-C died anyway.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Mac mini (2024): Safe way to unclip internal power wire?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The guide says to grip it by the wire closest to the connector, but that seems to be the way people are breaking the wire and the connector. (eg. when opening the mini to swap the ssd)</p>

<p>One end clips to the underside of the “power button assembly”, and another clips to the “antenna housing”.</p>

<p>PICOEZMATE is what the wire and connector are called.</p>

<p>edit: This seems to be the way</p>

<title><![CDATA[iMac G3 Model M5521: iMac G3 Slot-Loader chimes, then turns off.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Back in January I got this iMac G3 for pretty cheap. It originally powered on but showed nothing on the CRT.</p>

<p>When I connected an external VGA monitor, I saw it did boot to the “No boot device” screen, which was expected since the original HDD was removed due to failure.</p>

<p>Eventually a MacOS install CD got stuck, so I opened it up and removed it manually. After that, the behavior changed. It now chimes with the green power LED, then as the external monitor briefly detects a signal, it shuts off.</p>

<p>If I try again right after, the power LED comes on but nothing else happens. No chime, no video, nothing until I power it off manually. After unplugging for a few seconds and plugging back in, it goes back to the initial state where it chimes and then shuts off when it should show video on both CRT and external display.</p>

<p>What can I do? I replaced the PRAM battery and it made no difference. It also shuts off before I can do a PRAM reset (Opt+Cmd+P+R), and the physical PRAM button hasn’t helped either.</p>

<p>Trickle voltages seem normal, but when it reaches the “power LED only” state, the down-converter board trickle voltages are lower than normal.</p>

<p>I can also hear the high-voltage crackling as it powers off, so I assume the CRT is receiving power in some way. One other thing of note is that either the speakers, or the down converter board make a high pitched sound, I'll attempt to identify the source later today.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Mac mini Late 2020: AC2 "Unexpected device state 'DFU' expected 'RestoreOS'" Error 4014]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My mac mini has sadly been rendered unbootable after a power surge. It will chime and immediately turns to an SOS blinking amber light.</p>

<p><em>As a disclaimer, I know this may be a hardware issue and that is why I am here. I have already taken it to Apple and they had no luck, telling me it needs a logic board replacement. It wasn't worth the money so this has turned into just a slow learning project that I've been chipping away at as a hobby.</em></p>

<p>I have tried to restore it with Apple Configurator and another MacBook, but after putting it into DFU mode and waiting for it to restore, it fails with this error (4014)</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/rEDAQHMs2WiHPn1T.standard" width="209" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/rEDAQHMs2WiHPn1T.full&quot;, '', 'width=505,height=546')" /></div>

<blockquote class="featured"><p>Unexpected device state 'DFU' expected 'RestoreOS' (Probably forced into DFU mode externally)</p></blockquote>

<p>AC recognizes the Mac Mini, and the restore works up until Step 4/4, &quot;<em>Installing System</em>&quot;, where it pauses halfway and then gives that error.</p>

<p>At that point I can see via the status light on the Mac Mini that it goes from a normal boot (white) to DFU mode again (solid amber) randomly, and AC sort of flickers at this point as well and then complains about the Mac Mini being in DFU (instead of RestoreOS).</p>

<p>I guess this could be something fried on the board, but I wouldn't know where to start because the only apparent issue being that it just randomly dips out of RestoreOS and back to DFU is very odd.</p>

<p>I've heard this error (4014) can be a faulty cable, but I've tried a lot of different ones, including a genuine Apple USB-C cable. I may buy a brand new one and try again.</p>

<p>Do you know of any software or hardware issues this could be? It seems like a simple issue but with no real rhyme or reason to it. Even if you just have a hunch, any tips on where I should look next would be greatly appreciated.</p>
