I need to replace my early-2009 20" iMac Screen. What fits?

I have an early-2009 20" iMac MB417LL/A and I am having a very hard time finding which screen works for this computer. With window computers I just have to type in the name of the computer followed by LCD and I will find the one I need but its not so simple with Macs. Does anyone know where I can find a compatability list or something of that sort? So far I have found that there are apple part numbers but the LCD will be LG with a seperate part number. 661-4983 seems to work. I also found that Dell M201EW02 will work. Is this true?
Help...please

And from MichelPM's reference to LG as a supplier and your own finding of LG and a part number, you seem to have a match.

  • The internal hard drive on my early 2009 24" iMac is nearly full.  How do I add an external drive so that it functions just like the internal drive on the iMac?

    The internal hard drive on my early 2009 24" iMac is nearly full.  I have already worked to free as much space on the HD as possible.  How do I add an external HD and have the iMac read it as though it was part of the internal HD.  I know about external HD for additional storage and I do have an external HD, but, it is so much easier to search the drive when it is internal than having to perform a search on the internal drive and then a search on the external drives.  And, it is easier to save files to an internal drive so that I don't have to decide which external drive to use to save files.  In other words, I want to add an external HD and have it function as though I had purchased a larger internal HD.

    That is simply not possible. Every drive is a separate device. It cannot be used to extend an internal drive as though you had a seamlessly larger drive.
    What you can do is to create a striped RAID array using the internal drive and an external drive. However, doing this will erase the internal drive and you will lose everything on the internal drive. Furthermore, installing Lion or Mountain Lion becomes a bit of a problem because you cannot create a Recovery HD on a RAID and this tends to make the installer choke. However, you can clone an existing Lion or Mountain Lion system to the RAID and designate the RAID as a startup volume.
    I would not recommend the RAID solution, personally, but there are many who do. I prefer the basic solution of spending the money on a larger internal hard drive instead of an external hard drive.
    RAID Basics
    For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs.  Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
    RAID Tutorial;
    RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison.
    Hardware or Software RAID?
    RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
    RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
    RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
    Pros and cons. Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
    For more detailed information on the differences between Software RAID and Hardware RAID you may want to read: Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation is Best for my Application?

  • Do Early 2009 24" iMacs have display oddities - yellow tinge?

    Hi all,
    After a dour, very unsatisfying experience with an eagerly awaited 21.5" iMac (and a bad experience at the Apple Store when I tried to replace the unit), I am looking to purchase a 24" refurb unit.
    Are the displays on the 24" iMac better - in terms of yellow tinge, gradient display? It would be great if any of the users of the Early 2009 24" iMacs could chime in...
    Changed title to reflect question

    Mine does. And just about everyone I've seen does. Apple actually sent me the new one to replace a 2 year old white 24" that exhibited the same problem. And, now that I've seen Apple has finally admitted to an issue on the newest iMacs, I'm calling Apple Care.

    No that will not work. However you might try installing 10.4 on an external HD and that may work. I would recommend using a FW 800 drive otherwise the performance will be pretty poor.

    i've found a lot of people with the same question i have on this site with answers but most links that people suggest are broken or 2 of the hard drives they've recommended are discontiued
    i've got a frys electronics and best buy near by or internet if that's the best way to go about it
    what exactly do i need to look for when i'm at a store or online?
    what size hard drive, any? 250GB, 500GB, 750GB, 1TB
    3.5" SATA
    7200RPM
    does cache matter?
    anything else?
    people's responses to: Need to replace my late 2006 imac hard drive - what should i be looking for to replace it?
    1. You can use any 3.5" Sata drive, WD or Seagate would be good choices.
    2. Do not use "green" drives like the WD Blue series. WD Black are fine as are Seagates.
    3. The 2T green will work fine in the Intel iMac's. I always suggest using the quieter and cooler running Blue's or Green's in the iMac's.
    4. Personally I have upgraded the Hard Drive in several Early Core Duo's using both 320GB and 500GB WD Cavair Blue's.
    5. WD Caviar Blue or WD Caviar Green, they run cooler and quieter than the WD Black or Seagate's.
    6. I'm very happy with the WD Caviar Blue that replaced my factory installed 160GB Seagate HD a few months ago.
    i've found some good DIY tutorials for install

    thanks for the quick reply kappy,
    i plan to purchase a new imac when they are actually shipped, in stores, and i know all my handicap assisted devises will work on it
    you say "Do not buy a drive designed for SATA 3 6 Gb/s interfaces as some may not work on the controller in your iMac"
    at frys it breaks the groups like this:
    Interface (32)  
    SATA/300 (17)
    SATA/600 (9)
    PATA/100 (6)
    could you take a look at this link to frys and recommend a hard drive

  • Early 2009 24" iMac Haywire Display: LCD Panel or Logic Board?

    Hi,
    My 24" display just developed severe vertical and horzontal lines, mouse trailing, color changing and flickering.  The problem begins as soon as the computer is turned on (even the Apple screen goes nuts).
    When I plug in an external display, the external looks just fine.
    This is one of the Nvidia GeForce 9400 chipsets, so there is no separate videocard board to replace - it is integrated onto the logic board.
    It seems like it should be the display panel because the external monitor works fine, but these are complicated machines.
    This is an iMac 9,1 Early 2009, Core2 2.66 Mhz machine.
    Thank you,
    Josh

    Can you connect an external monitor and test? If the artifacts do not show on the external monitor, some component of the display is faulty but not the logic board. The dispay repair is not cheap but cheaper than replacing an LB
    If the same artifacts show on both, well... it's the logic board.
    AHT seldom picks up display faults.

  • Can I Replace my Early 2009 Mac Mini Hard Drive with my Early 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive?

    I am replacing my 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive with a Solid State Drive.  Instead of keeping the hard drive on an external enclosure I was wondering if I can use it to upgrade my Mac Mini's 160GB hard Drive with the one Im taking out of the MBP.  And if so, is there any special formatting I would need to do?

    It should work fine. No special formatting required. It actuality, I suspect that if you connect the HD, the Mini will boot into the OSX that was on the MacBook.
    When you replace the HD in the Mini just be careful with the antennas and their wires and connections I accidentally disconnected the wifi antenna on mine when I replaced the HD.

  • Early 2009 24" iMac CONTINUALLY crashes...

    The system freezes and/or restarts at least once a day as well (usually more like 3-10x), seems to be worst in Safari, but also happens on waking from sleep and anything that is graphic-related (I almost typed graphic-heavy, but even small graphic files/sites/apps that have previously not posed any problem suddenly are), or now also video--whether it is flash/html5 viewed directly online or video files played from the hard drive. Any ONE of these things is enough to either slow the system to a crawl (like a 2-page InDesign document or loading FaceBook timeline--small things that should not be problem weighing the system down) or causing automatic restart or system-wide freeze for which the only solution is to hold the power button and do a hard reboot.
    While there were issues before installing Mountain Lion (a clean install, btw, specifically to try to eradicate this problem), it seems no better and progressively worse since the upgrade.
    Besides the clean install, here's what I've tried:
    -MacKeeper clean
    -PRAM reset
    -freeing up hard disk space (there is 275GB free on a 640 drive)
    -reboot in safe mode
    -shut down and unplug all peripherals and power, reboot
    -using fewer programs (I work in graphic design, so I almost ALWAYS need Safari, Mail, InDesign, and usually Photoshop open. A lot, I know, but they aren't large files, and it's an almighty MAC after all, it should be fine--and forget about iTunes or iPhoto, opening them almost always causes a crash too... so no music while I work, at least not from iTunes)
    Apple care ran out on this machine nearly a year ago, but really, these things should be more robust than a 4-year use-life...
    I am not a computer tech, nor do I have the time or interest to pick apart panic logs to figure out what it all means. I just want it to work. Wasn't that Apple's motto for a while, "It just works"? Hmmm... not right. I should not have to either learn how to be a Genius or haul my 24" iMac to the nearest retail store AND pay for the repairs (if any) on a machine that is only 3.5 years old. That's ridiculous. That can't be my only 2 choices.
    Anyway, here are 2 of the crash logs, one from today, and one from a couple days ago:
    Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can pick them apart and find the possible cause(s)

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    It's a
    2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    I'll get more RAM, I'm sure it'll help... crashed again a couple times today before I could look for those processes (again, just Safari and Mail open)
    Can't find the processes you mentioned earlier, I'm not sure where to search... spotlight is useless, and user files aren't showing anything so far...
    If it helps, here's the latest crash report:

  • Early 2009, 24" iMac: What are normal operating temps?

    My iMac overheats and automatically shuts down frequently.  Sometimes, just watching a movie on Quicktime causes the CPU to top 80C and cause a shutdown.  Fans never run faster than 3500-3600rpm.
    Another thing that I noticed, is that the hiutil process runs twice a day using 100% of my processor, and always causes an overheat and shurtdown.
    Can anyone direct me to normal operating temps for this model iMac, or advise what may be worng?
    This sreenshot displays temps (Celcius) with only Safari running.  With uTorrent running (not actually feeding peers), and Quicktime, I get an overheat.
    TEMPS                                   FANS
    HD Macintosh   54                Optical drive   801rpm
    CPU                    55               Hard Drive      1599rpm
    CPU Heatsink   51               CPU Fan          3580rpm
    Ambient              39
    CPU Diode        72
    CPU Heatsink   60
    HD Bay               54
    Mem Controller  57
    Processor  2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 256 MB
    Running Mountain Lion 10.8.

    Your temps are somewhat high, but still within acceptable levels.
    I would be more comfortable seeing many of the temps in the 40 degree Celsius range.
    Your CPU temps are on the high side and probably why your CPU fans are running high.
    When was the last time you clear out any of the dust, lint and fine dirt particles from your iMac.
    IF you've never done this, you need to completely unplug your iMac, find a heavy blanket or towel to lay your iMac, face down on the soft material. Using a special electronics vacuum, a portable, plug in vacuum or standardnhiuse vacuum with hose and attchments, using either the bare hose end or crvice tool, carefully and slowly vacuum all air intake and exhaust vents, openings and all of the ports to get rid of as much fine dust, dirt and lint as possible.
    Do not use a vacuum attachment with brushes. This could cause a problem with random static charges.
    Once this is done, re-setup your iMac, plug all your peripherals in and then do an SMC reset by plugging in your iMac to power. Wait 5 seconds, then power up your iMac.
    Then report back here with any changes in temps.

  • Is there a diagram for putting in a new hard drive in my early 2009 model imac 24 inch

  • Need advice: slight defect on new Imac screen, what would you do?

    I just got new Imac from apple online store and I noticed that there is a small defect in screen. It is about 1/4 or just a bit smaller inch line that looks like hair. I am not too pleased about it. What would you do?
    ps, i had this shipped from online store, so do I take it back to apple for new one since still within 14 days. Not sure how it works if you purchased online.
    thanks

    I would ring them up - if you bought it online I'm not sure if you can return it to a store, although if it's one that they sell in store you might. I changed the spec on mine so couldn't return to a store when I had a problem and got it replaced. They'll send a new one out express delivery and arrange for a courier to pick the old one up. I managed to arrange it so the new one arrived the same day as they picked up the old one.

  • 2009 27" iMac screen artifacts. Make iMac unusable, Please help

    27" Late 09 iMac, Was running Mavericks and Mountain Lion, i7, 8gb Ram, ATI RadeonHD 4850 512mb
    About 2 weeks ago i had a random issue where my screen was displaying some odd artifacts. I tried resetting everything, unplugging it, etc and finally out of no where it was back to normal.
    Yesterday it started happening again but this time, I could not get rid of the artifacts. Let me explain what it is doing.
    The screen at random times will have black spots, icons will be black, some are fine. If i open a menu, The menu will be so distorted that you cannot even read it. At times the mouse pointer will disappear and various areas. Its never the entire screen, only various area of the screen, like say the icons on the dock, or drop down menus, sometimes the entire page on the screen is black.
    The issue is so bad that it makes my iMac unusable. The only way i am able to do anything is boot into safe mode BUT now after a few days, Its starting to happen in Safe Mode now.
    I have done everything possible from doing a clean install of Mavericks, Totally formatting HD and going back to Mountain Lion. Unplugging all USB devices and HDs, PRAM reset, SMC reset. I have tried different resolutions, etc, etc. You name it i have tried it.
    It took me almost 2 hours to install Mountain Lion and Mavericks because once the OS is done installing and you have to go thru the setup screens ( choose your country, your wireless, your apple ID, etc ) half of the screens were blacked out or distorted and you couldn't even see what it was asking you to do. I have to use voice over the entire time to select and enter all my information.
    Everything on the iMac works perfectly fine, The problem is, You just can't see 75% of what your doing.
    Since i am out of warranty, What can i do? I assume Apple will not fix this issue for free and i assume its a hardware issue? From what i have read everywhere my guess is the graphics card is going out.
    Can anyone suggest any fixes? or what the best thing is to do? I have no idea what it will cost to fix and then if its even worth putting the money.
    Any help or advice would be great, Thanks.

    Run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode at least 2-3 times back to back, if errors occur then you have a hardware problem. This means it is in need of repair and there is nothng we can do to help on this forum.

  • 2009 i7 iMac Screen Stuck at Black during and after Startup

    Have had this iMac since early March 2010, its been great and my favorite apple product to date. 4 Weeks ago I left to Europe and left my computer OFF and with the power cord not plugged into the wall. I came back, plugged it all back in and turned it on...everything worked fine, surfing the net and CS:S i leave again last week to Denver and left the computer in the same way, OFF and unplugged. I came back today turned it on, i hear the fans, I hear the computer starting up, my external hdd gets power but my logitech mouse would not get power through USB. Ten minutes later my screen is still black, no flickering no nothing just black. I then went ahead and turned it off via power button and disconnected all peripherals mentioned earlier and still nothing. Called applecare they made me do some power cycle thing and still nothing, now I have a Genius appointment tomorrow afternoon....any ideas? Could the screen just have died or some connection on the board burned out? Thanks in advanced!

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try Resetting the PRAM
    If that doesn't make a difference, try Resetting the SMC
    iMac since early March 2010
    Should still be under the one year limited warranty.

  • Vertical streaks on 2009 20in iMac screen

    These vertical streaks have been developing over the past few months. Is there a way to fix this without having a new display fitted? Screenshot attached.

    Hello, I see no streaks in the screenshot here, but that is taken at the Video card, not the actual screen.
    You can test it youself...
    Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see double lines it's a Video card/VRAM problem, if the lines do not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.
