Wat je nodig hebt

  1. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement, Install the iMac service wedge: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 1
    Gereedschap gebruikt in deze stap:
    iMac Intel 21.5" Cardboard Service Wedge
    $4.99
    Koop
    • With the hinge free to move, the iMac will be unbalanced and hard to work on. Place an iMac service wedge, in the stand to stabilize the iMac.

    • If you are using the iFixit cardboard service wedge, follow these assembly directions to put it together.

    • Before beginning any work on your iMac: Unplug the computer and press and hold the power button for ten seconds to discharge the power supply's capacitors.

    • Be very careful not to touch the capacitor leads or any exposed solder joints on the back of the power supply. Only handle the board by the edges.

  2. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement, Insert the opening tool: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 2 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement, Insert the opening tool: stap 2, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Starting on the left side of the display, near the power button, insert the iMac Opening Tool into the gap between the glass panel and the rear enclosure.

    • The hub on the iMac Opening Tool will keep you from pushing the wheel in too far. If using a different tool, insert no more than 3/8" into the display. Otherwise, you risk severing antenna cables and causing serious damage.

    • Use the tool like a pizza cutter—roll it along the gap, cutting the foam adhesive in between the frame and display.

    • Be sure to always push with the cutting wheel forward. If you pull, the wheel might get pulled out of the handle.

    • Run the tool up along the left side of the display.

    • Continue along the top of the display.

    • You may want to run the tool back and forth a few times to ensure you completely cut through the adhesive.

    • Finish pushing the opening tool to the bottom of the right side of the display.

    • At this point, you'll want to run the tool back around the entire display, to ensure you cut as much adhesive as possible.

    Plastic Cards

    Koop
    • While the opening tool cut most of the adhesive, the display will still be slightly adhered to the case. A plastic card will be necessary to free up the last of this adhesive.

    • Set the iMac face-up on a table.

    • Starting from the top right corner of the iMac, wedge a plastic card between the display and frame.

    • Be careful not to insert the plastic card more than 3/8", or you may damage internal components.

    • Gently twist the plastic card sideways to create a gap between the display and frame.

    • Move slowly and be careful not to stress the display glass too much—you only need to make a gap of about 1/4".

  12. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 1 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 2 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Slide the card toward the center of the display to cut any of the remaining adhesive along the top right corner of the iMac.

    • Be sure to stop before the iSight camera, or you may damage it.

    • Wedge the plastic card into the top right corner once again, and leave it there to prevent the adhesive from resticking.

  14. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 14, afbeelding 1 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 14, afbeelding 2 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 14, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Insert a second plastic card into the gap between the display and frame near the top left corner of the iMac.

  15. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 15, afbeelding 1 van 2 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 15, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Gently twist the card upward, slightly increasing the space between the display and frame.

    • As with the other side, twist slowly to allow the adhesive time to separate, and be careful not to over-stress the display glass.

  16. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 1 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 2 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Slide the plastic card toward the center.

    • Stop sliding just before the iSight camera to avoid damaging the camera.

  17. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 17, afbeelding 1 van 2 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 17, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Wedge the plastic card back into the top left corner.

  18. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 2 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • With both plastic cards inserted as shown near the corners, gently twist the cards sideways to increase the gap between display and case.

    • If there are any sections that seem to stick and won't separate, stop twisting and use one of the cards to cut the remaining adhesive.

    • Begin to lift the top of the display up from the frame.

    • Only lift the display a few inches—the display data and power cables are still connected to the logic board.

    • Lift the display up enough to have easy access to the connector, but not so much that you stretch the cables and stress their connections (about 8").

    • Hold the display with one hand while using your other hand to unplug the display power cable.

  20. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 20, afbeelding 1 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 20, afbeelding 2 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 20, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Continuing to support the display with one hand, flip up the metal retaining bracket on the display data cable.

    • Carefully pull the display data cable from its socket on the logic board.

    • Be sure to pull the display data cable connector straight out of its socket, keeping it parallel to the motherboard, to avoid damaging it.

    • Lift the display up to a near-vertical position.

    • At this point there is still a strip of adhesive along the bottom of the display that will hold the display to the frame like a hinge. You can loosen this adhesive by working the display up and down a few times.

  22. iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 22, afbeelding 1 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 22, afbeelding 2 van 3 iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2019 Display Replacement: stap 22, afbeelding 3 van 3

    • If necessary, a plastic card can be used to cut any remaining sections of the bottom adhesive strip.

    • Lift the display up from the frame and remove it from the iMac.

    • It may be necessary to slowly lift from one side to peel against the remaining adhesive.

    • Be very careful handling the display—it's big, heavy, and made of glass.

    • After the adhesive is cut, it cannot be used to re-seal the display in place. Follow this guide to replace the adhesive strips that secure the display to the rear enclosure.

    • Gently set the display face-down on a sturdy, flat surface. It may be helpful to put it on a towel or cloth to protect it from dirt or debris that can scratch the front glass.

    • Use your fingernail or the pointed tip of a spudger to flip up the retaining flap on the display data connector.

    • Use an iOpener near the top edge of the display assembly to heat and soften the adhesive on the piece of tape holding the thermal sensor in place.

    • Instructions on how to properly heat and use the iOpener can be found here.

    • Peel up the piece of tape securing the thermal sensor to the back of the display assembly.

    • Depending on your iMac model, the thermal sensor may be positioned slightly differently.

    • Disconnect the thermal sensor from its socket on the back of the display.

    • Remove the thermal sensor and transfer it to your new display assembly.
