Hey all, So I unfortunately cracked my iMac’s glass screen, and it’s a late 2015 model — it looks like Apple fused the glass to the LCD display for these, making it such that you have to replace the entire display instead of just the glass. I know this question has been asked before, but most of the posts I’ve seen are 2 - 4 years old at this point. Surely by now someone has come up with a way around this? If not, I also have a dead Late 2012 iMac at home. Would it be possible to use the display from that? Thanks!!
Sorry, you are correct the cover glass is glued to the LCD panel and can’t be replaced by its self. And, no you can’t use the older 2012 panel as the displays are very different! Time for a new display assembly ;-{
Me personally think you can change, 2012 screen are compatible up to 16,3 2015 iMac as I’m currently buying a screen for a late 2012 iMac and it states that these are compatible up to the 16,3 iMac. Just quoting what I’ve read on the screen the person is selling. Look it up your self there’s loads on eBay.
