iMac Intel 27" EMC 2546 Adhesive Strips Replacement

30 minutes - 2 hours

Moderate

My Problem

No Problem. It was cheaper to buy our own SSD Drive and Memory than to buy it all beefed up from Apple.

My Fix

We Swapped out that HDD with a 1TB SSD and added more memory. The only problem we had was with the SSD. We forgot that we needed a SSD Mounting Kit. Luckily we had from from a previous build that fit perfectly. Having the adhesive strips was the winner in my book. We were able to replace the screen and it looks like it just came out of the box.

My Advice

Be patient sometimes its really sticky and wont come off right away. I was afraid of breaking the screen but with a little persistence and having a lot of those plastic cards it came off with out a hitch.
