I’m dismantling my 21.5” iMac EMC 2389, to replace the hard drive. I have been unable to detach the LCD thermal sensor cable from its socket, it’s nowhere near as easy as it appears on the IFIXIT video and there is no mention in the notes about it being very difficult. Is there a trick or something I am missing?
Its a snap fit but as the system ages the plastic looses some of its flex so they do get thougher to disconnect. You’ll likely need a couple of these: Spudger then carefully pry from each side equal pressure. Don’t lift up! You want the pressure the go in parallel with the logic board.
Sounds good but how do you plug it in on a pre owned imac that someone obviously had trouble removing it before?
