Heating the screen can often damage and discolour it if you are not skilled / experienced. MUCH easier to buy the little tool that looks like a mini plastic pizza cutter. No heating required and I have done HUNDREDS of imac screens without incident using the same tool that cost about $5 and comes with most of the adhesive kits that you need to re-attach the screen and (yes I know) you can buy some quality 3m thin tape and do it yourself (which I now do as it is far cheaper than the adhesive sticker kit). I think this method is MUCH safer considering a replacement screen is about $800 AUD. I've been working in IT for 35 years.
Very helpful thank you.
I have several Questions need your professional advice and these are the things that happened in the process. I am already $$450 into this repair and now just want to do the next best thing so I can get my computer working again:advice:
1) put in brand new iMac screen for my IMac 2020 and hooked up all cables turned it on and nothing came on after I had already sealed it up.
I had to buy new cable since when the original screen came out it ruined one of the pins on the cable.
I bought new cable and then plugged into new screen and nothing worked unfortunately I sealed up the screen before checking to see if the screen and new cable worked. It does not work. The old screen was working but is was so cracked that it was not ledge able.
Would you recommend hooking up side monitor and using that?
1)With HDMI 3 cable to hdmi and plugging in external monitor?
2)is it possible that the connector on the motherboard was damaged when screen fell out onto desk?
3)screen that was sent to me was defective?
4)Apple 2019 IMac cable does not work with 2020 iMac even though it looks exactly the same?
Let me know your thoughts.
I am ready to take computer into you break we fix store to have them get it right.
What are your suggestions?
Just a couple fo tips for anyone else looking to do this - I would 100% recommend getting the kit that fixit sell to do this.. makes the job 100 times easier. In the kit you get a service wedge (which keeps the screen in an upright/fixed position) to make it easier to work on - you also get a 'pizza' cutter to hellcat through the adhesive - this is preferably as it will not cut too deep and do any damage if it slips - there is also no need for any heat when you do this.. just run the pizza cutter round - life the screen forward - disconnect both cables and then remove the bottom adhesive..
What about finding a screen? I can't seem to find a glass screen alone for a 21.5 inch iMac (late 2015). Does Apple or someone even sell screens?
@@cecilsays-legalmindsetcant1339 same here!!! somonenhelp us!! lol no really.
Definitely I'd vouch that the pizza cutter makes things a LOT easier. I had one that the screen was already cracked. I used a box cutter and I put just a little bit of pressure and cracked the screen even more. So a word of advice to be patient and use the right tool!
Thanks, good video!
I used to be an ACMT and I miss the good old days. The older iMacs had a replaceable glass panel that required no tools and took about 3 minutes if you didn't have to clean a bunch of glass shards out of the inside. Just two metal tabs at the bottom and magnets holding it on.If you needed to do upgrades like a hard drive you just lifted the glass off with suction cups and removed the LCD with a torx driver. Apple continues to make it more and more difficult and expensive for DIY.
My wife's 2019 21.5" Retina 4k just fell off the table when the stand collapsed. There are spider web cracks across the glass but fortunately the display still works. I guess we'll just have to live with it.
Yes, you are talking about the -2011 models. I wonder how replacing the imac g3 CRT was. We had one of those in. I think it was before we were making videos. Would have been fun showing it. Thanks for watching and the kinds words
Truely Apple sucks, I just took off cracked screen on iMac 2020, 27 inch screen and it is a sticky mess any idea how to get the darn glue left on the lcd screen after removing the glass. This process took me 3 hours to remove all of the glass off of this extremely sticky surface?
Apple sucks they should have stuck with the magnets and suction cups to remove the screen.
Grade of D+ to Apple for screwing people who need to replace the glass over the lcd part of screen.
Any suggestions on what to use to remove the glue from the LCD I would be so grateful as I have replacement glass ready to go.
Thanks,
David
You don't need a heat gun to get the glass off. Use a utility knife between glass and frame, it came off easily for me. I'm not worried about the old adhesive because I preordered the display adhesive kit from Apple to apply to the new display.
hot air gun helps more
Where do you get the screen from
Just google its ie 2017 iMac 27” screen replacement you’ll find one
Great video! How can I remove the stand from my 2019 27" iMac? I purchased a VESA mount adaptor to mount on the wall. Thanks in advance!
Hi nice video tutorial. where can I Buy the Screen replacement?
great video, but where do you get your parts/screens? where can i buy them and replace myself
Do you have any videos on how to replace the glass only?
Good video. I’m glad I watched it. Knowing the screen is adhered to the body is a big help.
Is it possible to remove only the front glass without removing the whole screen (magnetic glass)? Thanks
Nice Video!! I read that some iMac 5k 27-inch screens are interchangeable. However, the ad didn't specify that information. Do you by any chance know where to find out which screens can be used to change out a 2019 5k 27-inch screen iMac screen? Please share the info in the event you know. I'd be ever grateful.
where i can buy this screem?
You mentioned burning the LCD with too much heat. Is that because of the cracks, or is something fragile in all the corners of an iMac 2012 -19 which is located in that area??
Great vid , but I get a clear view of when you reconnected the cables
1) Can you provide a link for all the pry tools one's needs (that you are using) to safely remove the LCD?
2) How do I determine which specific LCD screen I need to replace a cracked display on an IMAC that is not yet presently in my control and access? (Im thinking about buying one off Ebay which has a cracked display) Can you provide a vendor link to where one may order refurbished or new displays for IMAC 27"?
3) How does one ensure one is ordering the correct replacement if one does not have the part number of the original display that is cracked?
Can I just replace the disc?
The Disc is Only Defective, the Display Itself Works
This screen is indeed very difficult to remove. Especially, if you have to reuse it as in case of replacing the hard drive. Chances of damaging the screen is very high. I do not agree that he should use a metal spatula to penetrate the glue-filled space between the frame and the screen. Best thing to do is use a plastic razor-thin roller with a handle. If you apply a lot of heat, sure it will loosen the glue. But it will expand the glass, which in turn can expand the frame of the display and cause it to bleed permanently. There is no fix for that. If you are a technician and you are asked to replace this screen, plan for a 3-4 hour job depending on your level of proficiency. One more thing, have good gloves to protect your hands and a good workbench with plenty of space. The edges of the iMac is very sharp.
I have a late 2014 27" iMac with Retina display. Can I replace only the cracked glass instead of the whole display?
I think this doesn’t work anymore because the glass is laminated to the screen
Thank you
Thank You so much! Very helpful!!!
hi sir, thanks for the detailed step. Just wondering can we upgrade 2017 imac 27" with i9 8/9/10th gen?
Nice video bro
Can I just leave it on my driveway for about 10 minutes? Its over 100 here in TX.
yeah sure lol
just burn it up like a piggie
Can I install an imac 27 2020 screen on an imac 27 2017?
It depends on the model. Some of them come with 5k resolution. Best case would be to check the panel # on the screen itself
can the driver board connected to the back of the display be replaced it or would i have to replace the entire display? i found one of the 13 strips was damaged,
In a robbery they through mine on the Floor and the chin is bent. Can it be straightened
That is the frame of the imac. Most likely you would need to replace the whole frame
Can you help… replaced my 5K 2049 max screen about a week ago didn’t really look at it last night started looking at the screen saw two dead pixels some shading on the left and right of the bottom screen… I do have full warranty from the place-(did not pay Apple to put it in way too much money) is that normal or could they have given me a used screen??
I need help asap, I turned it on, I see 2 green lights in the logic board, fans go on and hard drive but don’t see display
this is a great video do you have any tutorials on removing the cinema stand for the iMac 5k 2017 model?
Not yet 😉
Where should I get the replacementscreen from ?
I have a mac, I don't really know if it was 2017 or 2019 of the screen I think I was 6 when I got the Imac, I'm a kid and I am into programming and moderation.
Hi does one need the cutting wheel, say by iFixit to remove the adhesive tape for say, the Late 2015 iMac 5K 27"?
Thank you.
The cutting wheel is a piece of plastic not very sharp. Using a razer thin plastic to help cut the adhesive as you heat it is the best way I found so far
Does the True Tone works after the screen replacement?
true tone is software controlled so it does not matter what screen you use
Lapfix, gret video. One question, after putting the screen back I noticed a very prominent backlight bleeding in 2 or 3 places around the edges, alogside a purple tint all around the screen (specially in the corners). I treated the screen with much care. Not sure what could have caused it. Is it permanent damage? Can it be repaired by ungluing and resealing the screen again? what do you think?
Thanks!
Hard to say without looking at it, but usually the yellow around the edges can be a "burn" from applying too much heat. It is easy to cook those corners as the adhesive is harder to loosen there.
@@lapfix Thanks for the response. I didn't use a heat gun only a "pizza cutter" plastic thing from iFixit. I guess I bend it very slightly or soemthing. I think I'll send it to Apple for a screen replacement.
Why can’t I find a screen that’s compatible with 2019 model?
SHOW HOW TO STICK THE SCREEN TO THE STRIPS
what would it cost me to have someone do it?
it's not a hard job - just take your time and get the right equipment - don't put unnecessary stress on the connectors when you are opening the screen so you don't damage the cables or connectors on the board.. there's a good step by step guide here:

Thanks for not showing how did u remove bottom strip cover....
i have late 2012 27" iMac with normal display. Can I replace my n normal display with Retina display?
I believe the late 2012 imac is the thin retina one. If you are referring to the older one, you cannot change the normal display to the retina one,
the lcd flat connector is 30 pins?
Have you tried to open up Imac a 2nd time? The adhesive strips used to seal up the screen to the frame are different from the original adhesive strips. The after market strips are thinner and make it very difficult to get screen off a second time....if you have found a way to do this, I would very much like to know. Thank you
The original oem factory adhesive should be stronger than anything else. Enough heat should make it come up, just be careful
@@lapfix Thank you for your response. My experience using the pizza cutter wheel worked fine on the oem adhesive, but on the second try very difficult, which unfortunately resulted in having to replace the display.
Pizza Cutter 🍕😮
I didn’t even use heat mine came right off
We’re can I purchase the screen
Which glue is to be used to fix back screen? Bro I watch your videos
Any double sided tape should do. 3m is a very good brand for that. You can do it manually or buy specific adhesive for the model imac you have which I recommend doing. Thanks for watching =)
@@lapfix thank you sir...will be THRe with more thoughts...your videos help a lot...
how much does the glass itself cost
What adhesive do you use? The one I got doesn't work.
I would recommend a strong one meant for this repair. 3M is a very good adhesive brand
I just found a very small fly inside the screen of my iMac 2013. It was crawling around and now it settled to the bottom of the screen where the apps are and it looks like it's dead now. Is there anyway to open up my iMac and get the bug out by cleaning it without having to replace the whole screen? Thank you!
You can actually see the bug through the screen? 😮
@@lapfix Yes, it's a very tiny little thing but visible. If I didn't see it die myself I would assume it was a pen mark. I guess there's no way of fixing this then. Thanks for the reply.
@@MementoMori-xx5qo i have the same problem on my 27" 2017 5k retina with 2 tiny flies, one on the top right (not bad) but the second one is in the middle of the screen and as a photographer this is very annoying when i'm in post prod !
I'm not sure what to do... if i open it up i would probably change the hard disk and CPU but it looks risky !
Lap fix do you sell screens
What is the yellow heat guncalled?
It's a wagner heat gun
how much does it cost to replace?
after replacing the screen the mic is not working, any advice?
in case anyone else sees this: you need to cut a little of the bottom adhesive ove the mic, or use the exact adhesive for our model which will come with the cut out for the mic,already.
replace that HDD for and SSD!!!! haha
Why ?
you open it , just replace the HDD to SSD
WHAT DO I DO
better Use Gloves... Rubber or Wool...
Wtf not an ssd hd ?
So ?
This is one main reason to hate apple. Complete idiotic way to hold things together.
stop saying its difficult dummy
Can I install an imac 27 2012 screen on an imac 27 2015?
No, I believe the 2012 screen works for 2012 and 2013 only
