Introduction
Removing the display on a Late 2013 iMac 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.
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
If you are re-using your existing display, you must also remove the old adhesive from the back of the display.
-
Peel off the old strips of adhesive using tweezers or your fingers. Start at the bottom and peel upward towards the top of the device.
-
After all the old adhesive is removed, carefully clean the area under the adhesive with 90% (or greater) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Wipe in one direction, not back and forth.
-
-
-
With the spudger still poking through the hole in the adhesive strip, push the spudger tip into the corresponding hole in the frame of the iMac.
-
Using the hole and spudger to anchor the position of the adhesive strip, line the strip up against the right edge, gently pull down against the spudger to ensure the strip is taut, and stick it onto the frame.
-
-
-
-
Work your way around the perimeter of the iMac, adding three more adhesive strips in the same manner.
-
Working counter-clockwise from strip 13, place:
-
strip 12 on the top right
-
strip 11 on the top left
-
strip 16 on the left vertical
-
On the iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display, strip 12's blue tabs will not line up with the top antenna in the same way as the regular model. This is perfectly acceptable and won't impact the performance of the strips or antenna.
-
-
-
Grasp the red film pull tab on the 14 adhesive strip and pull to remove the backing from the strip.
-
Align the strip on the bottom edge of the rear enclosure, directly to the right of the middle screw on that edge.
-
Run your finger along the length of the adhesive strip to ensure it is straight and unwrinkled, pressing down as you go to adhere the strip to the iMac.
-
-
-
If you've already verified that your iMac is working correctly and are ready to seal it up, skip to Step 16.
-
Gently insert the display data connector into its socket on the logic board. Be sure to press it straight into the socket, and insert it completely.
-
Flip the display data connector lock down onto the socket.
-
Insert the display power connector into its socket on the logic board.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Is there any reason to believe that Apple would deny any warranty repairs due to these adhesive strips not being identical to Apple's? I'd like to open and clean my iMac before taking it in to have the display replaced under warranty, but the vibes I'm getting from Apple support suggest that Apple may deny me service if the adhesive strips 'show any signs of tampering', i.e., being replaced for any reason. This sounds silly to me, as it doesn't void Apple's warranty to upgrade my hard drive.

Unfortunately, these strips are not even close to the original ones. Has anyone tried to reopen the iMac with these strips in place? A real pain… The original one must have a sort of foam in-between so that one can cut through with the ifixit wheel or a knife. After that, it is easy to remove the adhesive swipes on both sides. Trying to reopen an iMac with the iFixit strips in place is really hard and impossible with the iFixit wheel. Sad…
True ! Same goes with OWC’s strips : no foam.
The only way to reopen the iMac should it be needed, is to use razor blades…
