Do Replacement LCDs Now for the Late 2009 iMac i7 Backlight Bleeding Free?

Hi. My iMac i7 late 2009 I believe has too much backlight bleeding on the sides. It's got an international warranty until March of 2011. The authorized Apple repair shop says if the find out it the LED LCD needs replacement and that they will get it from Apple's center in Singapore which will arrive in 7 days.
Should I have the LCD replaced and will the LCD from Singapore be backlight bleed free, guaranteed? Or this is really unavoidable? What's your experience on this, was having it replaced better or the same or worse? It is hard to enjoy movies that are letterboxed coz' the sides are bleeding. Thank you in advance. Advanced happy All soul's day and halloween. Gbu.

Correction: Are (instead of Do in the Title)

  • Where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    Depends on the original drive. According to OWC, at least last time I checked some months ago, any current WD drive they sell (up to 2 TB?) will be able to be swapped directly. I am unable to confirm this personally. But, even so, that was a while back. You should check with them again on this. As for Seagates, that might not be so simple.
    This is the original article on this from them.

    If you find a drive that OWC sells and is certain will swap in directly, you can see if newegg.com has it for less.
    This one that OWC sells will swap in directly, according to them.

  • Can I replace my HDD in my late 2009 iMac myself?

    can I replace my HDD in my late 2009 iMac myself? The current drive is toast and I've heard that late 2009 Apple started using HDDs with thermal sensors.
    If I can replace it, any suggested makes/models?

    Here is a link to an article that covers the harddrive issue in great detail:
    http://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-im acs
    The short answer is maybe. How tech savvy are you? It would require disassembling the iMac, removing the LCD panel and installing your replacement components. The job is primarily complicated by the wiring being very short and needing at least 4 hands to get things neatly unplugged and replugged. There are lots of YouTube vids of these teardowns, it is doable because people do it, the question remains can you?

  • Which chipset does the late 2009 iMac have?

    Hello everyone especially Fortuny and The hatter!
    I'm still having trouble with my Windows 7 installation and wondered if anyone knows what the make and model number of the late 2009 iMac chipset was... I.E. The controller that drives the chipset and Sata etc.
    None of the chipset installs that come with Boot Camp install anything and it's still listed as a GENERIC device with a Microsoft Driver...
    Intel, Nvidia, etc just doesn't install.
    All the best,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    the best I could find is that the chipset is an Intel Series 5 chipset which Intel themselves use on their H55/Q57 mainboards.
    Using the OSX Install DVD (no. 1) that came with your iMac should install the correct driver for it.
    While in Windows you can copy the whole content of the OSX install disc and thus the BootCamp Driver to a new and empty folder to more easily 'rummage' around in the drivers.
    Sorry for not having a more precise answer. (My own i7 iMac is OSX-only).

  • Is there a wall mount for the late 2012 iMac 27"?

    Is there a wall mount for the late 2012 iMac 27"?

    There are wall mounts available but they are tricky to fit and need to be sturdy to take the weight of a 27" iMac. 
    It is a two stage process... you need a VESA Mount Adapter Kit for the iMac and then a suitable wall mount.
    Google will help you out.

  • |HELP| Is the late 2009 iMac going to work fine with Video Editing ?

    Hey guys,
    I would like to know if a late 2009 iMac with an i7 processor could edit a short film in Adobe Premiere Pro and if it could do some things in Adobe After Effects.
    Please let me know how it will perform ? Is it going to crash ? PLEASE HELP
    iMac Late 2009
    Intel Quad-Core i7 2,8 GHz
    ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
    4GB DDR3
    1TB 7200rpm HDD + External SSD that contains the editing softwares.
    Thank you very much.

    Your system could use more RAM. However, it should run fine if you quit all other Apps and have plenty of free internal hard drive space.

  • Late 2009 iMac 27" as display for gaming desktop?

    I'm looking at buying a gaming desktop with a high end graphics card. I know that the late 2009 imac can use the "mini-displayport" to be used as a monitor for the pc, but the graphics card on my desktop will only have a "displayport." The card comes with a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable, which would allow them to connect, but will it be compatible for Target Display mode? Some people have reported success online, but i could be missing information.

    Hello CDeuschel,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924
    Can I use the iMac in TDM as a display for my gaming console, DVD player, or other device?
    The Mini DisplayPort port on a supported iMac can receive DisplayPort compliant video and audio signals. Converters not made by Apple may provide options to convert other electrical, video, and audio protocols to Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt compliant signals.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT3918 Mixing RAM modules in a late 2009 iMac

    I have a late 2009 27" iMac that came with only 2 Gig of RAM.  I recently ordered 16 Gig of RAM (4 modules), but they only shipped me 8 Gig (2 modules).  I installed the 8 Gig (still leaving me with 2 empty slots), can I also reinstall the two 1 Gig modules that I removed for a total of 10 Gig?
    Also, if I order an additional 8 Gig from another company will it cause problems to mix products from different companies?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The Late 2009 iMac came with 4 GB on all the models, so maybe you have an Early 2009 iMac.
    Apart from that, if you have a Late 2009, you can use 16 GB of memory, so you can install two 4 GB modules and two 1 GB modules, for a total amount of 10 GB, without any problem. If you have an Early 2009 iMac, 8 GB of memory are the maximum.
    To buy memory, I only recommend you OWC and Crucial, that provides compatible memory with Macs. Other brands may work, but with OWC and Crucial you can be sure that memory will work with your computer > http://www.macsales.com

  • Late 2009 iMac Windows installer won't run

    So I will explain with more detail. My iMac is the late 2009 21.5 inch iMac with a..
    Intel core 2 duo processor
    4GB of
    500GB HDD
    So I followed the bootcamp guide which was made by apple.  I opened up the bootcamp assistant and downloaded all of the software needed, and started partitioning the disk. I made about 40GB of space for my Windows side. After the partition completed, my mac restarted and started to read the DVD. However, I only get a black screen, and I can't get the Windows 7 installer to run. I thought I have some problems with my install disk so I used virtual box to see if the dvd works. When I used it on virtual box, the installer started and everything went fine. But when I use this for bootcamp, it did not work. I tried resetting everything, using a different installation disk, redo the partitioning, or boot up the disk by pressing the option key at the startup and selecting the disc. But none of them worked. I don't know why this is not working, since windows installed without any problems on my macbook pro retina. If someone was in the same situation or knows a solution for this, please help me. Again it is the Late 2009 iMac 21.5 inch model.

  • Best way to transfer from late 2009 iMac to new iMac

    I have a new iMac, and want to transfer 750MB of data from my late 2009 iMac when I set it up. It seems like the options are:
    Not Thunderbolt <-> Thunderbolt, since the late 2009 iMac has a MiniDP port, not a Thunderbolt port.
    FireWire 800 <-> Thunderbolt using my Apple FW/TB adapter. Should give 800Mbps?
    Direct Ethernet connection (just a cable, no router). Does this work? Should give 1000Mbps?
    Ethernet through my new Time Capsule. Lets me access the internet during setup. How much speed loss compared to direct connection?
    Any thoughts or suggestions about the best choice?
    Thanks.

  • My late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive just failed and is being replaced. It did not qualify for call back but I am wondering if there is others with similar issue

    As I stated my late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive failed and is being replaced.. I am being charged as machine does not qualify for the call back program..call backs are on 2011 machines.. However i am in shock that my segate internal iMac hard drive failed in less than two years.. are there others with similar issue? Also when I get machine back will new hard drive be stable .. How do I make sure my working environment is reliable.. I have all my data and work backed up and will be able to rebuild my system but I really do not want to have to go through this down the line again.

    Just to update everyone and maybe help people down the road .... It has been a week of **** .... I may have finally solved a problem that I have seen a ton of people in all different types of discussions around the world having trouble with ...... I am going to upload some pictures of what I was getting in the beginning and it came out of no where .... I had the random pixel problem with my display and to make a long story short I came across an article two days ago regarding internal temperatures and fan speed ...... I kept reading about apples approach which is not the point  .....  More importantly I dug deeper into temperature control and fan settings .... I discovered all kinds of software and there is only one in my eyes that can help anyone dealing with this display problem .... I will be honest,  I do not have the money right now for anything extra and am barely getting by and that is why I kept at it ... I figured keep trying different things because  a repair is out of the question ... http://www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control   -   This program has solved my problem - I get to adjust three internal temperatures inside my Imac and slowly but surely as the temperatures remained constant the display is fine .... Like new again .... I cant believe it ..... Turns out the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB graphics card gets very hot causing it to not do what it is supposed to   ..... Anyone that has any questions do not hesitate to contact me ...... I am going to upload some pics .... They are not that clear but if you are going through this you will recognize the images for sure - There was   so many more variations but this should help out - Thanks to everyone that takes the time out to help people on this support site .... I want to send a shout out to The Art Of Sound .... He is the most knowledgeable Apple person I have ever come across and I am an Apple user for 20+ years

    With TLF 571 checked in we can now revert the MXML 2009 changes for how the id language attribute is processed.
    An unqualified id property will no longer be seen as a setter for a normal public, writable, non-static "id" property - which matches Flex 3 behavior.
    As in earlier versions of Flex, the mechanism to retain MXML id attribute information at runtime is to implement mx.core.IMXMLObject. The compiler will generate a call to the intialized() method and pass in the id information.
    Note: One exception to this rule seems to be UIComponent which instead get id attribute information via mx.core.IDeferredInstantiationUIComponent (although there seems to be a TODO in the codebase to remove this mechanism and thus should not be relied on by third parties).
    QE notes: Please add tests for the TLF id property on flow elements (div, span, p, etc).
    Doc notes: Please check that we have not documented

    All RAM tested individually and Passed- Ran a Ram memory test as well.
    New kernel panic is now as follows-
    What's interesting is I had the video card replaced at Apple in the last year- it's a ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
    But I see that the log has it listed as
    "com.apple.ATIRadeonX2000(8.2.4)" 
    wondering if that my be the problem as the issue is the screen is fragmented and flickers- checkerboard before it crashes when not in safe mode..

  • Where do I get an SMC Firmware Update for my 21.5 inch Late 2009 iMac?

    Hello Apple Support Communities,
    I have a 21.5 inch, Late 2009 Intel iMac. Currently it is running OSX Lion. It is also running Bootcamp with Windows 7 Professional Installed. Recently the Hard drive crashed on me and I ordered a new generic Hitachi from an Apple Reseller. I took all the precautions and asked all the questions, but when I finished the hard drive replacement, the fans within the iMac started running on High. The other people in my office Hate this. I did some research and found that there is a firmware update for the SMC that I should be installing. I looked on the webpage where apple directs you to find out if you need this update, but I can't find my exact specs on the page (here is the page for reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237) I can only find an update for the 27 inch model. I tried running that one and the system tells me "This software is not supported on your system."
    Here are the specs that the page requested me to find:
    Model Identifier:          iMac10,1
    Boot ROM Version:          IM101.00CC.B00
    SMC Version (system):          1.52f9
    Someone please help, this has been bugging me for a while.

    I took all the precautions and asked all the questions,
    Then I trust you saw this before you did the replacement. Apparently, it's not just a question of getting a drive from the same manufacturer to use with the proprietary cable.
    http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs
    It's acting as if the temp sensor is not connected. I have it bookmarked amidst thousands of bookmarks but can't remember the name right now. There is some program out there that, in the absence of getting data from the internal sensor, will regulate the fan speed based on the SMART temp. If I think of it, I'll post back.
    Here it is. It's meant for the 2011 iMac Apple drives, but I don't see why it wouldn't work in your situation.

    BTW, I think John Galt is thinking of the 2011 iMac drives, not the late 2009s, which are not quite as impossible.

  • Late 2009 imac with dead LCD; external monitor?

    Hello, all
    I need some help.  The LCD on my late 2009 iMac has failed.  I took it into the Apple Store and they told me it was dead and it would be $500+ to replace it, which I do not have.
    The machine is intact, however, other than that!  The Apple Store rep even told me that they tried it with an external monitor, to validate that the video card is working, and it worked fine.  Great news!
    My question, however, is how do I get it to boot to an external monitor?
    I have booted the mac in target disk mode, booted from that target disk on another mac, and changed the settings so that the display is mirrored onto a second monitor.  When I boot into the iMac, however, I get the Apple Logo and the "white screen of death" and the machine never finishes loading using the external monitor.  I need to know if there is some way to force it to use that monitor for the primary display.
    Cheers all, and thanks for any help!

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if boting from it's drive on the oother Mac didn't write some of the other Mac's Monitor info to it?
    Instead of Mirroring, what if you make the external monitor the main one by dragging the Dock to it?
    If you can ever get it to boot, this thread may be helpful if you want mirroing...
