My Problem

I wanted to install an SSD in my iMac.

My Fix

I printed off the step-by-step guides, took my time, and it went beautifully!

My Advice

When you need to disconnect the 2 cables from the display, having a 2nd person makes all the difference. Have one person hold the screen up while the 2nd person disconnects those 2 cables. It'll help them to have a spudger and a headlamp, to see as clearly as possible.

The old adhesive comes off really easily. It sticks together and generally pulls off in one strip once you get it going.

Just use common sense with the display and don't over-strain it by bending it too much. If it won't release, just keep cutting away at the old adhesive with the cutting tools and cards.

Take your time and this repair will be much, much easier than you think at first.
