Hello,
I am curious if anyone else has had problems with the older iMac 2007-2008 builds, mine has been running fine ever since I bought it a year or two ago and just lately I've noticed some kind of grinding noise that I haven't been able to locate where it's coming from. I replaced the Hard Drive in it a few months ago and it has been running good ever since, but now I'm hearing kinda like a light grinding noise which seems to be coming from the small round circle vent on the back. I'm curious if possibly the hard drive sensor might have fallen off but that still wouldn't make sense to me about the grinding noise. Since i bought the computer used I don't have any warranty with it. From what I've been able to find searching the various apple forums and stuff is either the Fan bearings could be going bad but that normally is heard from the long vent near the top.
Any suggestions? When I get a chance to take it apart again my first theory was to try a different hard drive and see if that fixes it but I have a 2TB drive in it atm and I'm using most of it so I'd hate for another 2TB drive to go bad on me.
