Adhesive Strips

iMac displays from 2012 onwards use special adhesive strips instead of magnets. We use only original Apple adhesive strips or high-quality alternatives to ensure a perfect seal and prevent dust ingress.

Calibration and Color Accuracy

After replacement, we calibrate the display to ensure color accuracy matches Apple's specifications. This is especially important for creative professionals who rely on accurate color reproduction.

Thermal Management

During the repair, we also check and if necessary renew the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. This helps maintain optimal operating temperatures and can extend your iMac's lifespan.

Can I replace just the glass if the LCD is fine?

Yes, if only the glass is cracked but the LCD underneath is undamaged, we can replace just the glass panel. This is more cost-effective than a complete display replacement.

Will I lose my data during the repair?

No, display replacement doesn't affect your hard drive or data. However, we always recommend having a current backup as a precaution.

How long does the repair take?

Most display replacements are completed within 1-2 business days. If we need to order specific parts, it may take an additional 1-2 days.
