  • As promised, it's time to return to that huge 28" glass display. Gulp.

  • Unsure what kind of adhesive lies in wait (nasty Surface adhesive? Nice iMac adhesive?), we throw down a pair of iOpeners to soften it up.

  • Many swipes of the iMac opening tool later, and we're ready to call this glue the in-between. It's not the overkill tar we saw in the Surface Pro, but it's also not slice-it-down-the-middle clean iMac adhesive. It's in between. A bit of a struggle, but not impossible.

  • ... But after that bit of struggle, lifting the glass is fruitless—it won't budge. Looks like we're missing some fasteners in the center of the LCD. Where might those be?
