    在这个步骤中使用的工具:
    Plastic Cards
    $2.99
    购买
    • While the opening tool did the lion's share of the work, the display will still be slightly adhered to the case. A plastic card will be necessary to free up the last of this adhesive.

    • Set the iMac face-up on a table.

    • Starting from the top right corner of the iMac, insert a plastic card between the display and frame.

    • Be careful not to insert it more than 3/8" (9.5 mm), or you may damage internal components.

  11. iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Heat Sink Replacement: 步骤 11 中的图像 1,2 iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Heat Sink Replacement: 步骤 11 中的图像 2,2
    • Gently twist the plastic card to open the space between the display and frame, and cut any remaining adhesive near the corner.

    • Using too much force will crack the glass. Work carefully, and don't try to create a gap any larger than about 1/4" (6 mm).

    • Only lift the display a few inches—it is still attached to the iMac by data and power cables.

    • With the cards inserted as shown near the corners, gently twist the cards to increase the gap between display and case.

    • If there are any sections that seem to stick and won't separate, stop twisting and use one of the cards to cut the adhesive in the problem area.

    • Begin to lift the top of the display up from the frame.

  19. iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Heat Sink Replacement: 步骤 19 中的图像 1,2 iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Heat Sink Replacement: 步骤 19 中的图像 2,2
    • While holding the display up with one hand, use the other to unplug the display power cable.

    • Lift the display up enough to have easy access to the connections, but not so much that you stretch the cables and stress their connections (about 8").

    • Be very careful handling the display—it's big, heavy, and made of glass. The display has fragile edges. Avoid lifting the display by the corners.

    • Lift the display up from the frame and remove it from the iMac. Lay the display face down on a flat, soft surface.

    • It may be necessary to slowly lift from one side, to peel against the remaining adhesive.

    • After the adhesive is cut, it cannot be used to re-seal the display in place. Follow this guide when your repair is complete to replace the adhesive strips that secure the display to the rear enclosure.

  24. iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Heat Sink Replacement: 步骤 24 中的图像 1,1
    • If you are replacing the display panel, you may need to transfer additional components from the old panel to the new one. Compare the back of the old display with the replacement display. Note all cables, sensors, and foam cushioning that are missing from the new display.

    • If there is a wire or cable underneath adhesive tape, always pull the tape off first.

    • If the cable is glued to the chassis, use a heated iOpener or a hair dryer to soften the adhesive first. You can then slide an opening pick underneath the cable to loosen it. Never pull directly on the delicate connectors.

    • Slide an opening pick underneath the foam cushion pieces to separate them from the display, and gently pull them off. You may need some double sided tape to re-attach them to the new display.

Hi All,

did you notice something unusual in the contact surfaces between GPU and Heatsink ?

Some unit are hotter than others, we are discussing in a forum if it may be a problem with the cooling system. My 5K with the M295X can top at 100°C and others even 108° with consistent louder fan (+400rpms for the same task).

Can you tell me if the high temps, 106 Celsius, in the iMac retina GPU should be a big concern or not? I am considering returning my iMac in the next few days because of this.

I would highly recommend using at the very least, an anti-static wrist band when attempting any computer repair to this level.

In the 1980's I ran Commodore UK's service department. At that time we suffered a 30% failure rate of PC's that were being configured and assembled in our factory. The failures ceased the moment anti-static precaution were introduced!

Asking a question for this since my iMac 17,1 is due for an upgrade.

Does anyone know how thick of a thermal pad can be used on the VRAM chips? I am not a fan of using compound for these. (Still in the learning stages of this topic)

Also has anyone attempted to use a graphite thermal pad for the CPU or GPU?

Thanks in advance!
