[QUOTE="Ttaylor394, post: 1552638, member: 192394"] Bad news... iMac was slow with safari and some other programs and then i rebooted. Then it was the grey screen and spun and spun. Hard reboot to recovery and drive is bust. It is a 2010... [url=http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i3-3.06-21-inch-aluminum-mid-2010-specs.html]iMac "Core i3" 3.06 21.5-Inch (Mid-2010) Specs (Mid-2010, MC508LL/A, iMac11,2, A1311, 2389) @ EveryMac.com[/url] Good news is i have a Time Capsule backup and I get to finally open it up and replace that now junk 500gb HDD. Now for some questions... 1) Is that the model that needs fan firm/soft ware downloaded after a replacement HDD is installed to combat something with a temp sensor not matching properly? 2) This may tie in with the first question but idk.. does the replacement HDD need to be the same brand? being able to take this apart is like an early christmas present.. up until now i've just taken apart iPhones and that gets boring.. and our MBP i upgraded was very meh any other input is appreciated.
