LeFix Replacement LCD Panel Adhesive Tape Strip Sticker + Opening Cutting Wheel Tool Kit for iMac 21.5'' 2012 2013 2014 2015 A1418

Funcionaron muy bien, herramientas alta mente efectivas y utiles. Se uso para una todo en uno Mac.

I recently had to upgrade the hard drive in my iMac and of course, had to take off the screen and needed these adhesive strips. They seem to work perfectly, but I did have to trim one of them down because they are off just a little bit. But not so much that it made a big deal or a big difference. It would be nice if they were a little more helpful with telling you where to put each one of them they kind of just say starting in the left with one and work your way around, but they don’t really lineup completely. Either way they’re a great value for money and they did the job.

It was a perfect fit for my late 2013 model 27" imac; very easy to install and secures the screen well.

La compraría de nuevo. Funcionan hacen

I've been working with and building computers for over 35 years. I will say that replacing the Fusion drive in my 27" iMac was intimidating to me even after watching some YouTube videos of folks who made it look extremely easy. There's something about using a heat gun and scraping tools to get remove a delicate display screen that made me pretty nervous. I will say the single biggest reason why I purchased these strips was the tool that comes with them that you slide in behind the glass to break the seal on the old adhesive. It really is like one of those kitchen tools my mom used to have when making an apple and she had this wheeled hand tool that would poke holes in the crust.That tool made it so easy, once you applied the heat to the glass to just roll along the edges and separate the glass from the old adhesive. Without this tool, it was going to be like using tire-irons to replace an inner-tube on a bicycle.The adhesive strips are the perfect amount of really sticky but not so sticky that they are unforgiving if you have to pull it back up and fix a mistake.I would have given these things 5 stars had they simply included a diagram that explains what strip goes where. Nowhere in the box were any instructions and the strips must go in very specific locations when installing them as they are cut to fit into those exact spaces.I did find a YouTube video that explained where they go but I think a piece of paper showing where each piece goes would be helpful to folks who have not done this before.If there were instructions, this would have been a 5 star review.

I had a 2015 iMac 5k that was sitting unused due to Apple not allowing it to run the more modern MacOS. I decided it would be worthwhile to replace the awfully slow rotary drive with an SSD and install only Windows 11. Gaining access to the drive was the biggest step. The tool that comes with the foam adhesive strips worked flawlessly and I only used one cutter wheel in the process. Once gaining access to the inside, I did the drive swap and then remove every trace of the original screen adhesive. Afterward, I cleaned all surfaces with 90% isopropyl alcohol. The new strips were installed and the screen placed back in position. I kept painters tape around the edge of the screen overnight just to give support to the heavy glass while the adhesive settled in. A day later, I removed the tape and the adhesive strips are an absolute lock on the monitor. Zero damage to my iMac in this process and I was able to get everything perfectly aligned as it came from the factory.I installed Windows 10 first then used a software tool to force update it to Windows 11. Windows 11 works perfectly and it’s fast. I played a few hours of Halo Reach and Call of Duty World at War and it’s handled it all with ease. What a nice way to breath new life into this older iMac.

Product sizing was good and fit well when applied back onto the iMac frame.Need to take your time and align as it will be difficult to adjust after.iMac screen was taped and used a soft cloth to press around the edges to make sure of proper adhesion but no problems so far after a week.

This is third time using LeFix strips, this one on a newer late 2015 iMac 27”. Great value and they do the job well. Strip #12 on top does not align with wider antenna section but it does not impact function. Even ifix kits for this section has uniform thin width.Tip #1 clean mating surfaces and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Strips 14 and 15 (with red tabs) go on the screen, and for these remove the white backing.Tip #2 Don’t remove final backing until you test fit the screen, connect wiring and make sure iMac is rung well. I usually put blue painters tape to hold in place. Once you verify iMac is functioning properly lay it flat, tilt screen up and carefully remove the adhesive backing.Tip #3 For me it was easier to disconnect the two cables and tilt screen all the way up to align and stick bottom of screen. But make sure two screen cables reattached are secure.Tip #4 Sometimes I will use a hair dryer to heat up the edges to help activate the glue. Put some blue painters tape for a day or so.
