iMac 27" 2017 Adhesive Strips Replacement

Giriş

Removing the display on an iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K 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.

  1. iMac 27" 2017 Adhesive Strips Replacement, Determine which adhesives you have: adım 1, 1 resimden 1.

    • Before you begin, make sure you have the right adhesive strips:

    • The 2012-2019 iMac adhesive strips have a microphone cutout and are numbered 16, 21, 22, 23, 25, and 26. They can be used on 27" iMacs from 2012-2019.

    • If your strips are numbered 11-16, follow the 2012-2015 iMac adhesive guide instead.

    • With the hinge free to move, the iMac will be unbalanced and hard to work on. Repairs can be completed as shown, but are faster and easier with an iFixit cardboard service wedge.

    • Follow these assembly directions to put the service wedge together.

    • If you are not using an iMac service wedge, be very careful when installing and working behind the display—it can easily fall out and break if the iMac moves unexpectedly.

    • Before you install new adhesive strips, remove all of the old adhesive from the perimeter of the rear enclosure.

    • If you are re-using your existing display, you must also remove the old adhesive from the back of the display.

    • Peel off the adhesive strips 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 surface with 90% (or greater) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Wipe in one direction, not back and forth.

    • Don't skip this step, or your new adhesive strips may not bond properly, and the display may fall out of your iMac.

    • Strip 23 on the top right

    • Strip 21 on the right vertical

    • Strip 25 on the bottom right, dark side facing up.

    • Strip 16 on the left vertical

    • Start with strip 21, which goes on the right vertical edge of the iMac frame.

    • Before you peel off any backing, line the adhesive strip up along the frame of the iMac to get an idea of where it goes.

    • Peel the short piece of backing off the back of the strip.

    • 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.

    • Once you're satisfied that the top half of the adhesive strip is neatly aligned, peel longer blue piece of backing out from behind the strip.

    • If the top half isn't aligned properly, you can carefully peel it up and re-stick it before peeling off the lower backing strip. Be sure to use the spudger tip to anchor the top.

    • Work your way counter-clockwise around the perimeter of the iMac, adding three more adhesive strips in the same manner:

    • Strip 23 on the top right

    • Strip 22 on the top left

    • Strip 16 on the vertical left

    • These three strips have a hole at each end—always use the smaller hole for alignment for more precise placement.

    • On the iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display, the top-right strip's blue tabs will not line up with the top antenna in the same way as the non-5K model. This is perfectly acceptable and won't impact the performance of the strips or antenna.

    • The microphone hole is the center hole flanked by two larger holes. In the subsequent steps, be sure to align to the microphone hole and not the larger holes.

    • Align the adhesive strip to the bottom edge by positioning the microphone notch over the microphone hole.

    • If your iMac does not have a microphone hole, align the right end of the strip such that the L-bend sits next to the right vertical adhesive. The L-bend should not overlap the right vertical adhesive.

    • The adhesive tears easily. Be careful not to pull on the strip with too much force.

    • Once you have aligned the strip, carefully set the left exposed edge onto the iMac to secure the alignment.

Some of the steps here clearly don't apply to all imac's, and the microphone on the late 2017 is present, and is represented on the glue strip, but the pictures are wrong, and instructions are not entirely clear. The photo's must be of some older adhesive strips ifixit was selling, as in certain photos they look like the outside was already peeled off, leading me to believe it should have already been done, but I didn't find that step until the end of the guide... Somewhat confusing. Use common sense and I guess you'll be ok.

Don't try to put the screen on with the machine flat on its back. It makes it much harder to avoid gaps at the bottom.
