Title
iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display (2017) RAM Replacement
Introduction
This guide details removing the logic board in a 2017 iMac 4K in order to remove or replace the RAM.
Some images in this guide use a 2015 iMac, which has minor visual differences. These differences do not affect the repair procedure.
This guide is marked "potentially dangerous" because it requires you to handle a power supply that contains large capacitors. Unplug the iMac and hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds to help discharge the capacitors. Handle the board by the edges and do not touch surface components.
