If you are going to open your 21-inch iMac you will need this sticker kit

Today we end the day with a somewhat special article and it is that a few days ago I had the pleasure of being able to give a greater speed to the iMac from a friend installing a 1TB solid hard drive in it. For this I had to take off the screen from it and therefore, I have needed new adhesives to be able to leave it in the same state as when it was removed. 

The iMacs of the last few years are thinner iMacs that improved their characteristics considerably. One of the improvements was its screen that was built in one piece so the glass was no longer attached magnetically.

In order to access the interior of the iMac from 2012 to 2015, which are the models that we carry to this day, the technical service has to apply heat to the entire edge of it to soften the adhesive with which the screen has been glued . Once the screen is removed and all traces of glue removed You proceed to fix it or, as in my case, to change the rotating disk for a 1TB Samsung solid disk.

After carrying out the entire process of changing the internal disk, you must paste the screen again and at that moment is where you must take into account what I present in this article. You can stick it with double-sided tape that you must adjust so that it is the best possible, taking into account that it must be very fine. Many are the technical services that use the 3M brand. 

However, as I had time, the first thing I did was to search the net for an adhesive kit for the 21-inch iMac and when I had the material in my hands was when I began to change the disc. I recommend 100% this way of gluing the screen since it has been simply impressive. You can find them in the following link at a price of 5'45 euros.

      Unfortunately in Mexico I have not been able to find those adhesive strips, it is urgent for me to be able to change the mechanical DD for a solid one of my iMac 21.5 Mid 2014 1.4Ghz, since from Sierra I feel very slow starting.
