Smashing My 2006 Apple iMac

Its "Shocking"
Apple iMac computer puts a fight on it's way to total destruction.
2:10 - Bring out the crowbar

[@breakcoregirlxd]

Please do a video on those imac speakers

[@Sparky_Otter]

I am in favor of that request too.

[@breakcoregirlxd]

@@Sparky_Otter shango066, abukuku, druaga1 you are like the twin i never had!!!!!

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

iMac speaker special.... I have two pairs of G3 From old smash videos that I have located

[@breakcoregirlxd]

@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat now the g3 speakers are amazing but both mine have foam rot

[@Sparky_Otter]

I do like old/vintage electronics, computers, experimenting with computers and OSes, and repairing them :p

[@Evan2]

Funny to say but Garret's channel was actually my childhood. Been watching for almost 10 years now. Glad to see you're posting a lot more in 2018!

[@beszt95]

Same, started watching in Summer 2013. First vid was of him smashing the iMac G3 in 2012 haha

[@dendys04]

same here

[@Idk12575]

Same

[@creeper2671]

I watched him since 2013

[@tabbypears]

Dead backlight.

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

7502 I seriously hate neon backlight, is so crappy

[@StaticVapour590]

Yup

[@jimdayton8837]

Probably a dead inverter board for the LCD.

[@UnFox000]

11:39 ,,Garret's repair shop" xDD

[@roo_parfrey]

12:32 legit sounds like the computer screaming in pain 😂

[@gabrielabadulescu2387]

[@cosmo_thenaut]

computer go beeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbpbbbpbpppppbbeeeeerrrrrrrrrr

[@beszt95]

Please do more computer tear aparts like this! I love this stuff :D

[@breakcoregirlxd]

Didn't take much for it to shut off to be honest lol

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

I think that just had to do with the power supply as soon as you shorted out the slightest bit it would just flip the safety switch or something, I like need to get my electrical engineer friends in on this and unsolder all the safety components haha

[@RageTurtle_Rage]

Rainy Steve knows how to make good technology

[@breakcoregirlxd]

@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat I suppose that kind of protection is the reason it lasted so long

[@Wheezy1]

Rainy who woulda thought I would find you here

[@RoverNathan]

9:17 this heatsink it getting real warm, better cool it off Sprays water onto it 😂😂

[@RoverNathan]

@saya orang biasa saja lmao 😂

[@dubmason3503]

Garret: "It's like a game of operation..." Also Garret: *brutally ripping out body parts with a crowbar*

[@angelesc2033]

Damn those speakers are really good!

[@angelesc2033]

TheElectronicGuy & Speakers macs don’t compromise in quality except that shit os

[@angelesc2033]

TheElectronicGuy & Speakers they are good for what application they are put on! Look at that deaf bounce!

[@angelesc2033]

TheElectronicGuy & Speakers better than tv speakers atleast😂

[@angelesc2033]

TheElectronicGuy & Speakers samsung is hopeless

[@jimdayton8837]

Ikr! The speakers on my late 2006 20" iMac sound great!

[@tobitechboy1461]

8:55 but it never came😕

[@nameistunbekannt7896]

You don't skip Garret Claridge's shittalk !

[@LegoGuyGaming]

iMacs actually have infamous power supplies with no protection at all that can actually deliver deadly shocks

[@KeyboardBuster]

It's meant to be taken apart and serviced under warentt by trained Apple techs who know what their doing. Not "serviced" be Retards with a fresh $10 home Depot tool kit who slaps his hands all over everything whill it's hooked up to mains.

[@ando5699]

2 garret claridge videos in one, love it!!!

[@5bananas1]

Its nice to see one of those old macs. My old college used to have them. We used to use garageband and make our own songs and burn the song to a cd when we had our music lesson. I miss that place. That was like 2006

[@anonymous-user-]

I've gotta hand it to Apple for making such a durable product. That thing survived being covered in water, multiple hits, and had multiple components ripped out of it while it was still on, yet it still started up as if nothing happened. It required the motherboard to be physically broken for it to finally die. Very impressive.

[@bradroesler7072]

6:42, Loved when he touched the power supply and got electrocuted. Then at 11:27, the CMOS battery must've got damaged as the computer then reset itself back to factory default as if it were brand new.🤣😝

[@troybateson5908]

When it shocked you I jumped 😂

[@noahbounds7475]

same

[@unheck_]

same

[@nonsensicalfox]

Something finally surpassed the durability of that Thinkpad you sawed in half

[@RageTurtle_Rage]

Got a iMac G3 that’s went through a lot, the case is badly damaged but it’s still running to this day

[@crystalboutte9880]

2:09 you got me dying over here

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

I have one of those imacs and it has the same problem, if u unhook the top backlight from the inverter board, it stays on and u can see the screen. However if u plug it in it comes on and goes out.

[@squaller9254]

Never seen a computer boot loop like that lmao

[@malo2452]

the hard drive was endommaged this is why the computer bootloop

[@lunaracc914]

looks like we finally get to see a video where you get shocked by an electronic on screen

[@OLIFAB]

Omg this is so funny you need to do more of these videos 😂

[@levicats123]

I have two of those iMacs the 17 inch one and 20 inch model and I’ve never had that problem yet and I’ve had them since 2006

[@DJTrainR3k]

Always a good day when Garret uploads! How'd that power supply feel? lol.

[@KylesTechChannel01]

I used to daily the 2GHz version of this machine back in like 2014, it kept up pretty nicely for what it was but it was definitely showing age even back then.

[@jamextreme140]

6:42 Ouch!

[@akira808state4]

This is also a common problem with Macbook Pros. My friend gave me his mid 2010 Macbook Pro. Although it powered up, the backlight failed. This is due to a part on the logic board itself which tends to short out. Since it's a Surface mount component, it's most times better to get a whole new one.

[@Pidge0386]

Most times better to not bother with apple at all!

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

Here is where Apple does the stuff right. I have a Sony AIO with the same specs and watching a video is horrible, starts skipping if the quality is higher than 360p, that mac had a more than decent speed

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

In 2008 I bought the black macbook that would be later used from 2008-2012 to do my videos... And I still have and use it as my main DJ machine, It has never failed me during a gig even though it was slammed around through my high school years and has always been getting toured around with DJ gear in the backs of trucks and such, plus dropped it countless times ... that thing has worked its ass off for me

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

Oh, and only issues in all the years: broke the cheap bezel plastic, I only last year replaced the original battery, and I did have a bigger hard drive put in at some point but none ever were damaged, still has the original 4 gig of ram

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

Garret That's the point, Mac OS is fantastic for DJing, audio keeps going even in high load. I honestly wondered myself, how do DJ's work with Windows 10? Everytime it wants to update,it will and the sound will start glitching

[@Plainapple287]

Garret What about the 2 iBooks you smashed? Were those when you bought this iMac? And what is your current Mac?

[@AlexParr]

I love how the thing still worked after its face got ripped off and had water on the power supply.

[@TuTaDJOficial]

Construction quality of that computer is awesome dude

[@Halterung01]

What a tough bastard. Seriously impressive.

[@AaroMesa]

As soon as you got shocked my eyes dipped down to the description "shocking" perfect

[@Plainapple287]

I have the same one. But the ram is glitching out sadly. It does suck

[@fab555trainspottingandmore]

0:50 the cat is broken 😂

[@CUB1_C]

8:28 this part is the best lmaooo

[@DerpProductionz]

fuck yeah i love these videos! been watching since 2010 (when i was 5-6 :p) and i love to see you still making these videos!

[@NALTOHQ]

Garret was a staple of my childhood and Im so happy to see him still upload.

[@michaelalbanese8571]

Glad to see you in my feed :)

[@godisgoodatht]

I lost it at 11:40, "Garret's repair shop"!

[@jedithusnbixby2108]

Did you smash the word after Garret

[@StaticVapour590]

Haha, damn these are so fun to watch. Glad you are aking videos

[@theniftylynx6897]

The I in iMac stands for indestructible

[@LazorVideosDestruction]

That looked like a lot of fun lmao. Should have saltwatered the power supply! Zappy zap zap housefire

[@sullivansouza2709]

Great video, you should blow the speakers next!

[@samuelhearn4560]

6:42 did the exact same thing with a similar model of that mac. Those can shock you really bad.

[@Cletus_get_the_veshremy]

i love the horrific sounds of bootlooping imacs btw i love this chanle

[@Dis_Dude_Ben]

The heatsink you were attacking is the chipset which provides a path for the CPU & GPU if I correct.

[@RSoDtheVirus]

This is a good comeback

[@nahventure3873]

motherboard garret. it's the motherboard (main board) you ripped.

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

Lol yeah I don't do computers, I have a love/hate relationship with them where I need use them for work things and video production, really otherwise my 7 year old basic model Samsung smart phone is what I surf the net with and I've totally lost touch with the computer scene .. At one time I was really into vintage mac collecting but it was just a side effect of my ADHD - OCD (Getting interested in stuff and going hard at it for short bursts then wake up not giving a fuck one day)

[@JesseTinkers]

I got a boot off the casing on a proper ATX PC power supply a year or so ago. Jolted right up my arm, thankfully tripped an RCD/GFCI or whatever it is here in Australia.

[@theolordenthusiast2773]

1. amazing. 2. Brilliant. 3. WOW!!!.

[@Plainapple287]

What’s the lesson we learned here? Don’t ever trust Garret with an iMac water a monitor a camera and electricity.

[@alexaivaliotis8162]

I enjoyed that one! You've destroyed your old iMac. I saw you ripped the motherboard in half and you've killed your old iMac! 🔨🖥😂

[@TheSonyPicturesLogoShow]

About Newness for iMac came out In?

[@penttipena321]

This is the kind of shit i love. More please :D You should have tried to make it overheat with some benchmarks

[@scoopdogg2920]

i use one of those for my main mac for some unknown reason... it defiantly has nothing to do with my macbook pro mid 2010 graphics card problem at all.

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

What camera do you use?

[@jamescollins6085]

Looks like the backlight died. Also, I don't suggest putting your hands all over the PCBs since the power supply is exposed, and the capacitors can kill you. And I'll never understand why they call a Wi-Fi card an "Airport Card".

[@maned_howler5763]

9:21 How to make your IMac water cooled.

[@bananaaaaaah4285]

I have the same iMac and there is one line of pixels that’s yellow and it’s really annoying. Rip imac

[@TheSonyPicturesLogoShow]

What Imac Is Costed???

[@charlie_nolan]

Although the 2011 one had a bass + treble watered setup with separate grounds and great audio quality

[@JTARB-ol5tj]

Awesome video Garret

[@charlie_nolan]

Also I did the same to a 2011 iMac good build quality and also shocked myself with the power supply

[@DirtyBob7777]

Steve jobs is rolling over in his watery grave

[@41xpd67]

1:13 that thing is happening on my laptop too.i just restart it or turn up the brightness. I dont know what causes that but i will find out.

[@jonathan0531]

Your doing good destroying that hocroax

[@Bogames384]

I love that magic smoke

[@rhion2633]

My 2016 MacBook Pro did the same thing but had purple streaks in it after a month of having it 🤕

[@LasVegasEASPhoto8]

Oh you changed your name. Love the vids!

[@danhutchinsonbackup]

That iMac did not want to die

[@luugax7674]

Aple should React to this

[@geniodeltubo8771]

Ma è bellissimo il gattino a inizio video!😻😻

[@a5e26]

this is epic i love it

[@Cinder896]

Is it the backlight that died?

[@Ollieiow08]

5:11 i think i need this fan right here, *rips the thing out*

[@RODALCO2007]

Tough device, cool video.

[@syamsularifin5584]

Nice

[@trollingtime1234]

If this iMac survives soo much torture, it’s gonna live longer than me 💀

[@08pipster]

Did you just fix the computer somehow?

[@imbe.]

Ohh boy! My reaction to the whole idea was: "Ohh dear god please! Dont touch the PSU!! he touched the PSU... i fking called it.."

[@mohplaysrblx]

How can u use one this old

[@sebastianlegacy]

This happened when the back light wire is cut or its just broken.

[@sebastianlegacy]

I feel embarrassed by this comment.

[@s8wc3]

Fuck sake garret I had to take one of these apart the other day... this video would have saved me so much time...

[@lillebrorsanvincent2017]

Broken backlight it is or its bairly connected

[@SomeRandomEnglishGuy]

Love the destructive videos! I get to destroy shit like this daily at work.

[@squaller9254]

SomeRandomEnglishGuy where the hell do you work

[@cooooooooooooooool3]

Recycling plant maybe or like a scrapyard

[@SomeRandomEnglishGuy]

I work for a computer manufacturer called Stone Computers and we have a recycling centre where we take the older PCs, commonly when they replace they're old systems with our brand new builds. Shit like old Dells, Acers and the odd customer build. Anything that's no good to be refurbished and sold again, they get sorted and put on pallets and sold in bulk. Occasionally, we fuck the old ones up. Mostly macs because none of us like them lol.

[@CrazyOkuuProductions]

SomeRandomEnglishGuy _boi if you dont_

[@finnishmotorfreak7665]

Back at ot again with the cat!

[@PackardKotch]

This is so durable 😂

[@Thegooglemapsperson]

12:42 garret: let’s touch it Fan: DONT TOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH MEEEE

[@TCGProductions03]

Now ask Louis Rossmann to fix it.

[@WooferCooker]

TheComputerGeek010101001 probably just the PPbus circuit.

[@mrhvids4461]

Garret should collab with Nelk for a “edgiest Canadians ever” video

[@samplefx1]

[@robloxian9962]

You were able to install an linux operating system on that imac with a modern internet browser

[@newellslab]

Nice tutorial on watercooling a Mac!

[@dimitris_verlis]

Or just you replace the capacitors on the backlight circuit

[@againtjugofcocomilk]

Little 5 year olds be like: YoU cOuLd Of GiVeN tHaT tO mE!!!!

[@solangemoura5033]

MY GOOD

[@alexandergauvin8265]

When mac lets you change the fan speed when you need a 3rd party app for windows also those mac speakers sound damn good

[@PackardKotch]

That was a 3rd party app. Mac doesn’t natively allow that too so the app is called SPEEDFAN for Mac
