Aluminium Imac , 24 " dual core extreme.

Dead HD . Just out of garuntee.......

It takes a bit of nerve, but taking that big glass screen off by sticking a clean sink plunger in the middle of the screen and pulling works .

After that its relatively simple.

Nothing to do with VO , but just a confidence boost for mac folk .....

heh, the proper procedure is 2 small suction cups on the top left and bottom right corners but not a bad improvisation

yeah, cost me 400 $ since I didn't have the nerve or the skill:)

I wish I had known then.....

Do you need that much force? Or could you place the computer face down on a non-scratchy surface and lift off the body? Just wondering, not going to buy an iMac any time soon.

Not a lot of force Toshiro . I just increased the pull till the glass popped off .

The proper procedure would be with a floor-tile puller?

LOL.
