For starters, thanks for this great tutorial!
I have a small question though.
What is meant by "Carefully lay the iMac stand-side down on a flat surface."
If I lay the iMac on my desk, the mount is preventing it from going completely flat.
I find the 27" quite heavy to lift and was wondering if I was doing something wrong.
Anybody have any tricks to lift the LCD without too much lifting?
Thanks!
BUYER BEWARE!!
Good review if you were provided all the necessary connector cables on your replacement part. I bought the replacement LCD online from ifixit.com and it’s missing all connectors except the LED Backdriver cable.
This is what I pulled off my iMac.
This is what I was shipped by ifixit.
Even missing foam cushioning that protects inside components from the back of the LCD. If you’re not going to include those connectors in shipped parts, then you need to include how to remove them from your old LCD and transfer them to the new one. Thanks for having me tear down my iMac for nothing. At least I could use it previously with an external monitor. Now I have to put it back together just to be able to do that again.
Hi cdowney! I’m sorry to hear about your experience. We try to let you know on the product page which components our parts come with, as stated in the product description: “The LVDS cable and temperature sensor are not included in the assembly and will need to be transferred from your original display.” This guide may not be 100% complete for the specific part we sell right now, parts often change based on source and time after original release, and can vary between providers. We try to keep up with changes but aren’t always successful.
That said, the cables on the old display are removable and can be fairly easily transferred to your new display. Simply peel up the black tape and disconnect the cables, and plug them into the new display. The foam pieces are not critical, but can also be transferred to the new display, the adhesive should enable re-sticking with no issue. If you have trouble, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
here, have some wine
