You have probably heard of the phrase “pinterest fail.” A pinterest fail is when you find a blog or vlog with a DIY tutorial on how to do something AWESOME, and you attempt to replicate it – coming nowhere close to the original. Today’s dtube is just that – I tried to vlog a cool experience for you guys and show you the insides of an iMac – by filming a DIY upgrade of my iMac’s insides to a solid state drive. But, it didn’t go quite as planned. And obviously, I have no idea what I am talking about.

Hubby and I ordered all the tools we needed and then followed an online tutorial (haha from his memory). We probably should have followed along EXACTLY as they instructed with the video step by step - maybe we would avoid cracking my poor computer screen TWICE.
Looking back, just a tip from a non-professional in case you are going to be trying this yourself…. making sure the sealant is properly cut/removed is essential. This is why the second crack (about 6 inches long) happened.
Anyhow, hope you have a good laugh watching my failed DIY. It was quite sad and shocking when the screen cracked (especially the second time), but shit happens. But overall, my computer works a bit faster, and I guess it’s the insides that count. The appearance is just superficial. Oh yeah, it was even more failed than I thought because my external hard drive also got deleted accidentally. I’m not quite sure how that happened since this computer upgrade has nothing to do with an external hard drive. I’m happy to report it took 3 weeks, but everything was finally recovered - glad I didn't lose a ton of my photos.
And with that, I leave you with another funny pinterest fail to lighten your day!
Have you guys DIYed something that went wrong? Thanks for watching friends!
Love,
Jess
