imac 27 2011

Hi everyone, I'm new here, don't stone me. I'm considering buying a 2011 iMac 27 for the most part as a second monitor, but I want to have its maximum configuration. As I understand the top CPU+GPU option is 2660s (I'm aware of the heatsink tuning) + 880M. Who can tell me the maximum RAM with...

Hello all, My iMac (2011 i think) seems to have all but died. A few seconds after switching on, the screen goes white and striped, and it keeps rebooting itself. Too old to risk money on a repair, I feel. I would like to dispose of it, or give it away if someone can make use of it, but need to...

Hi, I got this iMac to fix and I have been having a really hard time. When I plug it in led 1 blinks twice but never fully turns on, it only does this when I plug it in then it imminently stops.

Hello, I just tried an experiment on my old iMac 27' mid 2011. I had already changed the optical disk for an SSD in the past to keep the original HDD. I decided to try to add USB 3.0 Ports. For that I connected a slim 13 pin SATA from the last port behind the logic board. It is a 13 pin to 22...

Hello, I would like to upgrade an iMac 2011 27inch to a xeon processor (e3-1280). However, the iMac also serves as good monitor for a mac pro. From what I gathered online, xeon will work but it would loose sleep function. Does target display mode put the imac in sleep function? if so, would it...

Hello, my iMac 27 mid 2011 does not boot anymore. Black screen, no chime but the hdd spins up as well as the fans. The device also beeps if I remove the ram, so I suppose the logic board works. A good year ago I already took out the graphic card once because i had issues with it. I already...

I'd like to get some value out of my 2011 27" iMac (with the i7, 2GB Radeon HD 6970 and 12GB of RAM) but don't know if doing so is worth my time given the condition of the machine: The GPU is broken. Turning the machine on brings me to an Apple logo with some red stripes and no further. Yes...
