| + | [* black] Carefully lay the iMac stand-side down on a flat surface. [Some prefer to leave the iMac standing, because removing the display panel is less of a fight against gravity, and it's easier to support it while reaching behind to disconnect its cables.] |
| [* icon_note] Due to tight tolerances, you will have to use a thin hooked tool to lift the display out of the outer case. As seen in the third picture, we made one out of a bent paperclip. | |
| [* black] Use a thin hooked tool to lift one side of the top edge of the display by its steel outer frame. | |
| [* icon_note] After lifting the top edge of the display on one side, hold it out of the outer case while you use a hooked tool to lift the other side. | |
| [* icon_caution] Do not lift the top edge of the display out of the outer case too far, as several short ribbon cables still connect the two components. |
