[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1601461, member: 56379"] If you have a 2007 iMac…I don't think you should have too many issues. This sort of thing doesn't get complicated until we start talking 2009-2011 iMac's. With these iMac's…the heat sensor technology is a bit more integrated into the drive itself (special ROM in the hardware). With older iMacs…it's either a surface mounted sensor on the drive…or a sensor that's mounted in the chassis near the hard drive & then sort of picks up the temp in that area. Open things up…and see what you see. It may be as simple as plugging & unplugging the standard SATA data cable and power cable.:) If there's a surface mounted temp. sensor wire…then that may need to be transferred as well. - Nick [/QUOTE]
