Next I removed the fan, which is easy enough just make sure to disconnect it from the motherboard before doing lifting it up. Once these are removed, pull up on the hard drive as shown and remove the hard drive connector. These are the two black pieces surrounding the hard drive. I started by removing the hard drive caddy. Remove them all before attempting to remove any components. Start by removing all the T10 Torx screws. You should now have access to the motherboard and other components of the computer. The bottom has a very small film of adhesive, I simply sliced it with my opener tool and the panel came off easily. Flip it up, then the cable should slide out. Disconnect these, then you can separate your panel from the frame and get to work! The top cable simply pulls out, directionally opposite from the motherboard, while the second cable has a lever that clamps it down. Once you have separated the glass from the panel, be careful to not separate it too much, as there are cables connecting the screen to the motherboard. I did not need to continue heating, once you have a pick wedged in the screen this part was very easy. You do not need to break the adhesive on the bottom portion of the screen. Repeat this process around the top and sides of the screen. Since the glass is heavily cracked on mine, I used a metal tool since damaging the glass was a non-issue.
In the area you heated, place your suction cup and pull up gently, while wedging your plastic or metal opener inside to break the adhesive bond. You will need a suction cup for this part, or you risk injury to the glass or worse, yourself. I started at the top right, as the other top edge of mine was cracked. We buy broken Apple computers and other brands.įirst, use a heatgun to heat one edge of the screen. I recommend extensive experience disassembling electronics before attempting this, or you might ruin the whole computer! Attempt this at your own risk! Sometimes it can be easier to sell your iMac to us and buy another one. There are many connectors, ports and components as a whole that are very easy to break or mangle while attempting removal. I would not recommend disassembly of this computer to beginners.
