Инструмент, используемый на этом этапе:iMac Intel 21.5" Cardboard Service Wedge$4.99
-
Before beginning any work on your iMac: Unplug the computer and press and hold the power button for ten seconds to discharge the power supply's capacitors.
-
-
-
Starting on the left of the display, near the power button, insert the iMac Opening Tool into the gap between the glass panel and the rear enclosure.
-
-
-
Use the tool like a pizza cutter—roll it along through the gap, and it will cut the foam adhesive through the center.
-
Run the tool up along the left side of the display.
-
-
Инструмент, используемый на этом этапе:Plastic Cards$2.99
-
Starting from the top right corner of the iMac, wedge a plastic card between the display and frame.
-
-
-
Gently twist the plastic card sideways to create a gap between the display and frame.
-
Move slowly and be careful not to stress the display glass too much—you only need to make a gap of about 1/4".
-
-
-
Slide the card toward the center of the display to cut any of the remaining adhesive along the top right corner of the iMac.
-
-
-
Wedge the plastic card into the top right corner once again, and leave it there to prevent the adhesive from resticking.
-
-
-
Insert a second plastic card into the gap between the display and frame near the top left corner of the iMac.
-
-
-
Gently twist the card upward, slightly increasing the space between the display and frame.
-
-
-
Slide the plastic card toward the center, again stopping just before the iSight camera.
-
-
-
With both plastic cards inserted as shown near the corners, gently twist the cards sideways to increase the gap between display and case.
-
Begin to lift the top of the display up from the frame.
-
-
-
Hold the display with one hand while using your other hand to unplug the display power cable.
-
-
-
Continuing to support the display with one hand, flip up the metal retaining bracket on the display data cable.
-
Carefully pull the display data cable from its socket on the logic board.

Grasp the small tab at the end of one of the bottom edge display adhesive strips and pull the adhesive toward the top of the iMac to remove it.
-
Repeat this step with the other adhesive strip and remove it.
-
-
-
Lift the display up from the frame and remove it from the iMac.
-
It may be necessary to slowly lift from one side to peel against the remaining adhesive.
-
-
-
Remove the following T10 Torx screws securing the hard drive brackets to the iMac:
-
Two 21 mm screws
-
One 9 mm screw
-
One 27 mm screw
-
-
-
Lift the hard drive from the edge nearest the logic board and pull it slightly out of its recess.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to disconnect the single SATA cable by prying it gently away from the hard drive.
-
Remove the hard drive assembly from the iMac.
-
-
-
Peel the rubber bumper off one side of the hard drive.
-
Repeat for the other side.

Hi, Evan, thanks a lot for the guide, could you let us know where can we find the adhesive for the screen to put it back together?
The replacement adhesive is linked in the intro area at the top of this guide. ;)
What a GREAT set of instructions. I’m thinking about replacing the original hard drive on my iMac (late 2015) with an SSD drive.
This gives me a whole lot more confidence to do it myself.
Thanx!
