Title
iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Adhesive Strips Replacement
Introduction
Removing the display requires cutting through the adhesive around the perimeter of the screen. After the adhesive is cut, it cannot be used to re-seal the display in place, so you'll need to apply a new set of adhesive strips.
Some images in this guide use an older iMac, which has minor visual differences. These differences do not affect the repair procedure.
