There is a thermal sensor in these headphones that deliberately shuts them down when that sensor hits 0˚C If the headset shuts down in warm weather with a significant charge, that’s evidence of a separate problem I’ve got a collection of Beats headphones that Apple has given me for free (I would never buy them) and they all have exactly the same behaviour. Even a wind at +5˚C will shut them down if the humidity is high. It’s a common trait among wireless headsets to auto-shutdown in cold weather no matter the brand. Lithium polymer batteries truly do suck below zero. I think the real crime with the Beats Studio 3 headset is that they refuse to run off of the analogue audio cable if they lack a power source, since the headphone jack is actually line-level and any amplified signal is attenuated to line RMS.

%#*@ this was a horrible guide until I read your comment. The model I’m pulling apart has no magnets holding it together

Do you think you folks will be doing a Teardown for the rev. 2 logicboard? The Xeon’s cooling system looks like it’s permanently sealed shut (non-refillable) and I can’t figure out how to remove the GPS antennae

hey Simon, I used 2-sided tape….this is assuming the new sensor doesn’t already come with an adhesive surface already applied.

a roll of kapton tape for your own peace of mind will make sure nothing detaches from thermally-induced adhesive crystallization

make sure you position it in such a way that you can easily plug the lead back into the mobo….not a lot of length to that wire

the retaining bolts for the drive chassis are definitely T8's, not T9

I got mine from a distributer in china

it's actually an LG screen. it's tricky to do business with them, because their english is very limited, but with patience, everything works out

See the thin twisted black wire on the back of the display in this photo? The one that ends in a small piece of black tape:

that piece of tape covers the tiny thermal sensor at the end of that wire. It is not included as part of the new display, and must be transferred from the old display or your computer will turn into a nightmare.

Something you may want to include for anyone replacing their damaged screen with a new one:

The replacement screens from LG more often DO NOT come with the thermal sensor attached, which means if you replace the screen without transferring the thermal sensor from the old LCD module, the computer will go absolutely insane, rendering it unusable.

This means re-opening the iMac and destroying the brand new adhesive strips. Because I had no idea this sensor existed, much panic ensued before I was forced to rip everything apart again and ultimately securing it closed with packing tape while I waited for the new adhesive strips to arrive in the mail....Not to mention the computer belongs to a client who lives 3 hours outside of the city.
