Introduction

Regain Bluetooth functionality by replacing the Bluetooth board.

  1. vWrrXC1PF4f4EOGg

    • Lay the iMac display-side down on a flat surface.

    • Loosen the three Phillips screws securing the rear panel to the iMac.

    • These screws are captive in the iMac. The center screw will stop turning after about 3.5 turns and the outer screws will stop turning after about 5.5 turns. Do not try to remove these screws from your iMac.

    Some models (with light sensor) have only the two outboard screws.
