    在这个步骤中使用的工具：
    Heavy-Duty Suction Cups (Pair)

    购买

    • Before beginning, unplug your iMac and lay it on a soft surface as shown.

    • Stick a suction cup near each of the two top corners of the glass panel.

    • To attach the suction cups we sell, first position the suction cup with the movable handle parallel to the face of the glass panel. While lightly holding the suction cup against the glass, raise the movable handle until it is parallel with the other handle.

    • If your suction cups refuse to stick, try cleaning both the glass panel and the suction cup with a mild solvent.

    • Gently lift the glass panel perpendicular to the face of the LCD enough to clear the steel mounting pins attached along the underside of the top edge of the glass panel.

    • Pull the glass panel away from the lower edge of the iMac and carefully set it aside.

    • During reinstallation, be sure to meticulously clean the inside of the glass panel and the face of the LCD as any dust or fingerprints trapped inside will be annoyingly visible when the machine is turned on.

    • Grab the plastic pull tab secured to the display data cable lock and rotate it towards upwards.

    • Pull the display data cable straight out of its socket on the logic board.

    • Do not lift up on the display data cable, as its socket is very fragile. Pull the cable parallel to the face of the logic board.

Great How-to, except the how to find the replacement Optical Drive... Can't find the 2428 online anywhere. Any help with the part number before cracking the iMac apart would be greatly appreciated!

Great tutorial. Now if I wish to replace the Superdrive by an SSD (the Superdrive is dead), since the SATA port of the Superdrive is 3Gb/s only, can I keep the Superdrive cable for the SSD but swap it plug to the free SATA III port on the motherboard? Or do I need a new cable?

Thanks

What kind of caddy do I need if I want to put an SSD in there? Is it 9.5mm or 12.7mm? Is any of it non-standard?
