How much does it cost to replace the screen on my iMac 24" M1 A2438 (2021)?
The iMac 24" M1 A2438 (2021) has a 4.5K Retina display in Apple's thin design, making screen replacement a specialist job. The display panel is expensive due to the high resolution and True Tone calibration. Bring it in to our Perth Road workshop and we'll give you an accurate quote after a diagnostic - we ken whit we're daein wi' iMac display repairs.
Can you upgrade the SSD in my iMac 24" M1 A2438 (2021)?
The iMac 24" M1 A2438 (2021) has its storage soldered to the logic board, so a traditional SSD swap isnae possible. If you're running out of space, we can help with external Thunderbolt storage solutions or data management. If your Mac is running slow for other reasons, drap it in and we'll diagnose the issue - sometimes a clean macOS install sorts things right out.
Can you upgrade the RAM in my iMac 24" M1 A2438 (2021)?
Unfortunately the iMac 24" M1 A2438 (2021) uses unified memory that's built into the M-series chip package, so it cannae be upgraded after purchase. If your iMac feels slow, it might be a software issue rather than a RAM limitation - a clean macOS install or storage cleanup can help. Bring it in and we'll diagnose what's actually causing the slowdown before recommending anything.
My iMac 24" M1 A2438 (2021) won't turn on - can you fix it?
