What should be caucious when opening display panel?

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to upgrade my iMac 27 5K model with SSD, which needs opening the display panel.

Upon reading posts from others, it seemed that the internal components are easily to be damaged by doing so, I was at my friend’s house the other day, where he got his opened up, when checking inside, it seemed to me that all internal components are pretty “far” from edges, and only the camera on middle of top and right side (the opposite side which closes to power button) has some cables, but it is all under the mental plate.

So, I was wondering how the components can be damaged during opening the display? Can anyone gave some comments here?

Thanks a lot!

Alex

I think you got things reversed ;-)

The hard part is getting the display off without damaging it. Just in the process of pulling it can kill it which would be an expensive mistake.

Follow the IFIXIT guides to the letter and use the correct tools. For starters you need the iMac pizza cutter iMac Opening Wheel as well as two sets of these Plastic Cards and I also find these help as well iFixit Opening Picks (Set of 6)

Dont forget you’ll need at least one set of [リンクされた製品が存在しない、もしくは無効: IF174-005] I would get two sets to be safe.

Now the hard part, which drive are you planing on installing? Swapout the HDD for a SSD, or put in the Blade SSD?

Update (10/03/2018)

Hold on here! If you have a Fusion Drive you’ll need to do first break it before you can alter anything. Follow this guide: How to split up a Fusion Drive

As to which drive to alter. The rub here is you’ve got your self boxed in ;-{

Given the amount of work I would buy the proper blade SSD for your system while a bit more it will make a BIG DIFFERENCE!!

I try to get people to go with a dual drive config whenever possible. What I mean here is a SATA HDD or SSHD for the deep storage (1~2 TB) then a PCIe/NVMe blade SSD which is the boot drive with the apps and cache/paging space for the apps. I go with at least a 256 GB blade drive. If you are doing music, photo or video editing you may need a bigger SSD.

I don’t recommend keeping the teeny tiny SSD Apple give you for a Fusion Drive if you upgrade your SATA drive to a SSD as its just too small to be useful.

So lets review what a Fusion drive is… You have a 1 TB SATA HDD and a blade SSD (any size) your effective storage is still only 1 TB !!

The SSD is only a cache drive to make a copy of the more used files for faster access. True, a bigger SSD gives you a bigger cache but is it really useful? Don’t forget Apple learned a cache drive setup can be very hard on the SSD so the small SSD you see 24 GB is really a 32 GB drive! It’s just way over provisioned to offset the high wear the SSD gets. So is this really such a great idea?? Remember SSD’s wear for every cell alteration unlike a HDD which mechanically wears out but rewriting a track can be done over and over again without wearing!

So why do you want to cripple your beautiful 5k iMac system with a PCIe/AHCI 2.0 x2 SSD instead of a PCIe/NVMe 3.0 x4?

Review this great guide: The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs

Here’s the drive you want 256 GB PCIe 3.0 x4 or if you can swing it 512 GB PCIe 3.0 x4

Thank you, Dan!

Per damaging the display, are you referring cracking the screen during the opening process? I read some posts here that they didn’t damage the screen physically, but after that, it just won’t work, black screen, no display, loud fans, etc. I am just wondering how that happened?

For SSD, I’m thinking get the 250GB flash SSD installed and make the better fusion drive (1.25T), but logic board needs to be disassembled, or I just replace the regular SATA hard drive with 500GB SSD without touching the logic board. What’s your opinions?

Also, should I use heat gun for opening the display, some one said it will help, but others say it will damage the screen, any comments?

Thanks again!

The damage is the poking along the edge damaging the fragile ribbon connections along the edge of the glass LCD panel to the T-CON board which is behind the panel. Many people pry Vs lifting and/or stick in the tools to deep. Yes, cracking (chipping) it will also kill the display as well but the least likely cause. Again review the guides very carefully and watch either the IFIXIT or OWC’s vids to get a handle on what’s involved.

That makes sense, thanks again!

Hi Dan,

Can you share the link for those videos from both IFixIT and OWC?

Thanks a lot!
