Hello everybody. I recently opened up my 2019 21.5” iMac and put a SSD in it using the iFixit replacement adhesive kit. All went well, but today, about a week after the work, I was at my desk and the screen separated from the adhesive. It fell a couple of inches, but everything looks to have survived. Currently it’s reassembled and laying flat to let the adhesive reengage.
I’m ordering a second kit to replace it with fresh adhesive strips, but I’m concerned now about longevity and the future. I was wondering if anyone had come across any sort of small, discrete looking screen clamps for iMacs. Just something to act as a safety measure in case the adhesive fails. I’ve seen people using scotch tape, but I’d be concerned that a few strips wouldn’t support the full weight of the screen if it were to separate again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
