This is really difficult to tear apart. I tried different methods but could not open it. It's not clear how to bend it and if it makes a difference if the bending happens on the black or the yellow side.

Welche Art von Klebstoff wird da verwendet, um das neue Display einzukleben? Und es gibt Screens, bei denen zusätzlich ein Glas mit dabei ist, was sind da die Unterschiede und wie werden die montiert?

Does anyone know whether I can connect another audio source to this iMac's Loudspeakers - and how? From the instructions it's not obvious how to use the speakers standalone from a different source.

For context: I have broken iMac with a working LCD that I can use as a external Monitor with a HDMI controller board. I would love to use the great sound of the loudspeakers, too, somehow.

I found one, by the way, in my local screw shop. No online options, only good old shop owners could help me out with the correct screw.

I added this note already in step 7, but want to make more visible for those that might encounter a broken cable:

Actually, on my repair attempt, one antenna cable broke (on the image the bottom right one in the red square in #7), I’m not sure whether it broke already before or was morbid somehow. Fact is: suddenly I had this cable in my fingers, and was sure I completely broke the macbook and need to find a new display now.

But as it turned out: the Mac is still fully working, including WIFI, BT, Camera etc. So apart from my huge relief, I want to address that these cables may break easily at their connection with the display. And that one antenna might be not mandatory for WIFI to work.

A non-electronic question: Here with my EF1, the front steerer tube has a bent screw. I think the pull was a bit intense sometimes. Now the folding mechanism can’t be fixated properly anymore and the steerer tube folds ocasionally.

My question is: Where can I get a replacement screw? Does anybody know the specs what screw to look for?

There seems to be a possibility to upgrade the mid-2012 MBP to 32GB Ram, there’s a thread on this on macrumours, but still nobody has confirmed it works and which modules to use.

Crucial SO-DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR3L-1600, CL11 (CT2KIT204864BF160B) might work - did anybody try this yet and can confirm any 32GB MBP9,1 is possible?
