This can slightly depend from store to store. Though often the keys don't get opened up because it is hard. When you bring in your computer the whole top case gets replaced. As long as the problem with sticking keys is still there, and the key cap has not been visibly broken, you should be fine.

I had this, turns out it was full of dust. I cleaned my entire system and blew it out with canned air. It works fine now. Note: this might not work for many. There can be board level damage. The controller can break etc. But it’s worth trying out

Not sure anymore, but i thought if you restored your device, the passcode should be removed. Hold the middle button and menu button to turn the device off immediately hold the middle button and play button and it should go to disk mode connect to iTunes and restore

If above comment does not fix it, try following these steps i found on another question here. Why Magic Mouse curser does not move?

LG has an official part store. Here’s the link. I will also quickly check the list if i can find your part. https://www.lg.com/us/support/parts-accessories-store Quick note: You might need to contact support to get computer parts. There also seem to be ‘compatible’ keyboards available but those don’t have backlight. If you really want an original part and can’t get the part itself, you might want to consider opening a repair request. https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service

Draining the battery below 15-20% is generally a good idea before replacing or maintaining them. I usually just use the computer at full brightness until i get the low battery warning, then shut down. The draining is so there’s not too much energy left that can escape if the battery would be damaged or punctured. A fully charged battery can unleash !&&* to you and your surroundings. Happy fixing!

Not very sure, but if i recall correctly, these models are plagued with GPU issues. A ‘fix’ would be to disable the discrete gpu and only use the intel internal graphics. (You will lose performance, but flickering should be gone ) Here’s a link: https://apple.stackexchange.com/question...-pro-how-to-disable-discrete-gpu-permanently-from-efi

The brand should not matter as long as the form factor is the same. The 27 inch iMac 2011 uses a 3.5 inch drive. So you’ll want a 3.5 inch replacement drive. If you want to use an ssd, you’ll have to order an adapter/bracket to allow a 2.5 inch drive to fit as ssds only come in 2.5 inch form factor. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions

i think the fans running at full speed can be caused by a broken palm rest temperature sensor. as far as i know, when the system detects one of the temperature sensors doesn't work, it makes the fans run full speed (that's at least what happened with my iMac when i broke the hard drive temperature sensor. You might've either damaged the sensor or the cable during the removal of the old battery. I don't know how to replace that palm rest sensor though.

Hello, Check this guide out for a list of tools. Basicly, you’re going to need a P5 Pentalobe screwdriver, a T5 Torx screwdriver, a spudger, your thermal paste, and a cloth to wipe off the old paste. That list is also at the top of the guide you mentioned. right under the introduction. There are also easy “add to cart” buttons for each mentioned tool. If you’d like, you can also just get the ifixit Pro Tech Toolkit. It comes with many tools and all kinds of bits to get the most stubborn and special screws out. Good luck fixing/replacing the thermal paste! Maxim
