There are several types of iMacs, but some of the A1419 is very beautiful because it has a resolution of 5K.

The flat iMac LCD is not threaded, but is attached to the main unit with very powerful double-sided tape.
The way to peel off is to tear off the liquid crystal by inserting the tool into the gap between the liquid crystal and the main body as shown in the image, but if you want to replace the hard disk, this work is required, iMac 27 I feel that the decomposition of a1419 has become a higher hurdle than the previous model.

[Point! ]】
Use a powerful double-sided tape when installing a new LCD.
If the adhesive is put on a weak tape, it will later peel off by heat and the worst liquid crystal will fall.
If it falls, it leads to liquid crystal cracking and liquid crystal failure with a high probability, but when it comes to 5K LIQUID Crystal, it is necessary to be careful because it becomes considerably expensive only for parts price.
It is good to put the bond on top of it after pasting the tape, but the following bond is considerably recommended.
