About the iMac A1418
The slim 21.5-inch iMac. Most came with a slow 5,400 rpm hard drive, so an SSD upgrade is the most popular job we do on it.

Common iMac A1418 faults we repair
- Slow hard drive
- Screen faults
- Power supply faults
- Logic board faults
Every repair starts with a diagnosis, and we give you a fixed price before any work. If the fault is on the logic board, we repair it at component level instead of replacing the whole board.
Data recovery from the A1418
The iMac A1418 stores your files on a 2.5-inch hard drive or Fusion Drive, which we can replace with an SSD.
If the Mac has failed but the drive is fine, we take the drive out and copy your files to a new drive. If the drive itself is clicking, slow or not recognised, it goes to our data recovery lab, where we work on it with PC-3000 tools and a clean room.
Upgrades
- SSD upgrade: swapping the hard drive for an SSD is the single best upgrade for this Mac. It starts up and opens apps several times faster.
- Memory: Soldered on most models; the 2017 models have memory slots inside.
