-
Re-orient your iMac so it sits upright on the stand.
-
Insert a plastic card up into the corner of the air vent slot at the top of the rear case.
-
Push the card toward the top of the iMac to release the front bezel latch.
-
Pull the front bezel away from the rear case.
-
Repeat this process for the other side of the front bezel.
-
It may be necessary to apply several layers of duct tape to the top of the access card to aid in releasing the latches.
-
If the bezel refuses to release, try pressing the lower edge back onto the rear case and repeat this opening process.
