Removing the front bezel:
-
There isn't a great position to put the iMac in to remove the front bezel. I recommend flipping it so it it like it would normally be positioned.

Remove these two Phillips screws.

Now, work your way around the bezel with a flathead screwdriver, and then, pivot it up towards the top, and remove it.

Removing the translucent plastic:
-
Removal of the front bezel will reveal two screw covers on the top, pop them off with a Phillips screwdriver.
-
Now, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws.
-
You can now remove the plastic.
After taking out the screws, you remove the translucent plastic by pulling the translucent plastic up (if computer orientation is bottom side down), and to the sides, the latches look like hooks and are not pressure latches.
Do this for each side at a time

Now, swing the board out, and remove the following connectors:
-
AC Power
-
To System Fan

Don't remove this. It comes free with the logic board power.

Now, you should be able to remove the power supply.
