it's the third iMac I've opened... but definitely the most invasive of repairs. they REALLY don't want the lay people inside of this thing. I mean... the screen is GLUED ON. at least the previous versions used magnets and/or screws. This thing is just weird. But once I got my mind wrapped around the adhesives, the rest is all just screws and ribbon cables (about a billion each)

edit: if any of your repair averse apple friends want to send me their gear instead of trashing it... I'm always open for donations
