Inleiding
Ga naar stap 1Replace a broken AirPort/Bluetooth board to regain wireless connectivity.
-
-
Orient the iMac face-side down on a table with the bottom edge facing yourself.
-
Remove the two Phillips screws securing the access door to the bottom grille of your iMac.
-
-
-
Remove the three T8 Torx screws securing the front bezel to the rear case along the lower edge of the iMac.

-
Insert a plastic card up into the corner of the air vent slot near the top of the rear case.
-
Push the card toward the top of the iMac to release the front bezel latch.
-
Pull the front bezel away from the rear case.
-
Repeat this process for the other side of the front bezel.
-
If the bezel refuses to release, try pressing the lower edge back onto the rear case and repeat this opening process.
If your computer has ever been worked on by an authorized Mac repair shop, this step may not be needed. I was able to skip this step after lifting the lower edge of the front bezel. Front bezel lifted off easily.
-
-
-
-
Lay your iMac stand-side down on a table.
-
Lift the front bezel from its lower edge and rotate it away from the rest of your iMac, minding the RAM arms that may get caught.
-
Lay the front bezel above the rest of the iMac.
My A1145 seems to be attached, somehow, on the top via some silver looking strips. It does not seems to want to come off. Is that the wireless?
NO they are clamps on each of the top inside corners of the outside bezel (frame ) if you use a Heavy Spudger Tool & pry not too hard just slightly between the bezel (side) and the display (side) this should pop each off usually by just popping one or the other sides the second will automatically pop as well.

-
-
Peel the lower EMI shield off the lower edge of the iMac and off the two vertical 4" sections on either side of the iMac.
-
-
-
Remove the single T10 Torx screw securing the right speaker to the rear case.

As you remove the screws during these steps, place them on a towel or a piece of cardboard. With a Sharpie label a piece of masking tape with the step number from which they were taken from. Then place the removed screws under the tape.
This ongoing step will aid in you having control on your reassembly without searching for and identifying the size and length all the screws that you are about to remove.
