-
Starting on the left of the display, near the power button, insert the iMac Opening Tool into the gap between the glass panel and the rear enclosure.
-
-
-
Use the tool like a pizza cutter—roll it along through the gap, and it will cut the foam adhesive through the center.
-
Run the tool up along the left side of the display.
-
-
-
Continue running the tool up around the top left corner.
-
-
-
Cut the adhesive along the top left of the display.
-
-
-
Continue along the top of the display.
-
You may want to run the tool back and forth through what you've already cut a few times, to ensure you get as much of the adhesive separated as possible.
-
-
-
Push the tool around the top right corner of the display.
-
-
-
Wheel the tool down along the right side of the display.
-
-

-
Starting from the top right corner of the iMac, wedge a plastic card between the display and frame.
-
-
-
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".
-
-
-
Slide the card toward the center of the display to cut any of the remaining adhesive along the top right corner of the iMac.
-
-
-
Wedge the plastic card into the top right corner once again and let it stay there to keep the adhesive from resettling.
-
-
-
Insert a second plastic card into the gap between the display and frame located at the top left corner of the iMac.
-
-
-
Gently twist the card upward, slightly increasing the space between the display and frame.
-
-
-
Slide the plastic card toward the center, again stopping just before the iSight camera.
-
-
-
Wedge the plastic card back into the top left corner.
-
-
-
With both plastic cards inserted as shown near the corners, gently twist the cards sideways to increase the gap between display and case.
-
Begin to lift the top of the display up from the frame.
-
-
-
While holding the display up with one hand, use the other hand to unplug the display power cable. Make sure that you pull the cable out from the plastic tab, and not by pulling on the color wires.
-
-
-
Use the tip of a spudger to flip up the metal retaining bracket on the display data cable.
-
Carefully pull the display data cable from its socket on the logic board.
-
-
-
Lift the display up to a near-vertical position.
-
-
-
Grasp the small tab at the end of one of the bottom edge display adhesive strips and pull the adhesive toward the top of the iMac to remove it.
-
Repeat this step with the other adhesive strip and remove it.
-
-
-
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.

It was really easy but the display did not power on for me. Any suggestions?
I got to the point where I fit in the display back on before I pulled the covers off of the adhesive strips. I turned the computer on and the display worked perfectly. Everything worked! The camera was aligned and everything! It must’ve been beginners luck.
I turn the computer off, unplugged the display, pulled the covers off the adhesive strips, plugged the display back in and sealed the display down. When I turn the computer on again I had a blank screen. It wasn’t just blank, it never came back on. The iMac did, but the display didn’t. I tried the old display. Same thing. After some research I found that I had burned up a device on my logic board.
So, I am left with only my iPhone and don’t know how to upload a picture in comments or I would show you exactly which one it is.
Can you replace just the top glass panel.
it’s all in one display, you cannot disamble onlye glas panel
