Replacement of the HD for more capacity and more drive

After loading Yosemite and more and more documents and programs the imac mid 2010 worked in some parts to slow and with irregularities. So in a first step I doubled the RAM from 4 to 8 GB. The actual next step was to increase the storage capacity from a 0.5 HD to a 2 TB SSD Hybrid 3.5".

I worked me through - would say the best. Aside my laptop with the super guide in front - and the fine helper hands of my wife...because the cable connectors are to small for big fingers. I helped me too with a little tool. Surprised I was when despite of much care the "display data connection cable" came away itself because this cable is a little stiff. I really took care by opening the display board! The sense of the plastic pull tab there I didn't understand really. The LCD thermal sensor connection cable was taped to the fan case. (I didn't tape it again when I built all together). The "display data connection cable" I could plug in again by patience.

In any case: After 2 hours the imac was fitted again together and works now since one week perfect, will say in his "old youth".
