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.


This guide shows how to replace the adhesive strips for most 21.5” Intel iMacs. Some images in this guide use an older iMac, which has minor visual differences. These differences do not affect the repair procedure.
