INTERNAL HARD DRIVE FOR IMAC 2390 A1312 MAC
But first, do you know a way to monitor just what the mac is detecting or doing? In windows I have a whole bunch of monitors I can use to see temperatures, fan speeds, failures, and errors. I'm going to try taking it apart again to try reseating the display and temperature probe cables and see if that works. I replugged that cable in and the fan spun down but the display issue started again. And as I said while the ODD fan was running at max speed it was working just like normal. Though before the issue started my little brother started trying to game on this mac, which it didn't take too well. And, it can run an external display normally. For the GPU it is fine, its an HD 5750 with 1GB G-RAM. Oh, this is a mid-2010, a1312, 2390, imac 11,3, MC511xx/A, at least according to wikipedia for which I've matched the specs to this model. I'm not sure if you have a 2010 or 2011 model?īut there are some great DIYs that cover re-pasting and GPU replacement at > iMac Intel Repair - iFixitĪlso there a numerous Suppliers that may have re-conditioned or new GPUs, once you have established the GPU's part # that year model. Is checking the heat sink for cracks and reapplying thermal past to the GPU. It sounds like you have completed the first, which is cleaning out the dust to ensure proper cooling.Ģ. If the GPU is it not completely toasted, then there are a couple of things that can be done to get a little more life out of the unit.ġ. On a more realistic note: the all-in-one units (some models in particular) are notorious for running hot which causes premature GPU and Display failures. On a good note: if the OOD fan is working properly after reconnecting the sensor wire, then it sounds like you have recovered from that issue. Sounds like two completely unrelated issues to me. Thanks for reading this, and thanks if you have any advice.

I don't know how to dig far into the software either.

I'm a PC guy and not used to the hardware of apple computers, so I need a little help. I'm wondering, could a faulty sensor for the ODD be causing the mac to turn the screen off? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to disable the sensor via command line or software preferences or do I need a new one? Also where could I get one? I think this is because I didn't plug the ODD temp sensor in properly the first time. And it actually did work when the fan was running fast. I'm trying to fix this myself and I've taken it apart twice once to clean out the dust, and again because a fan was running too loud. Apple support told him to buy a new mac or spend $1400 on a new display and gpu, so he got a new mac. I have an old iMac 2390 (intel, unibody, 8-ish years old) my dad upgraded from and I'm trying to turn it into a computer for my mom, but the screen goes black after a minute or so and I have to restart it to get it to work again-but just for a few minutes.
