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

An external view of my newly upgraded #CDRipping tower. The outside is also full of flashing lights! #CDs #Boston #CDTransfer #CopyCD #CompactDisc

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

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!
