[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1814649, member: 8287"] I am pretty sure this is correct. 2012 seems like the year the Screens started to be glued in. I got a used late 2012 so I could run Mojave and it's for sure a Glue Mac! :D I was right. Here is the 2011 with DVD drive. [url]https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i5-2.5-21-inch-aluminum-mid-2011-thunderbolt-specs.html[/url] Markrow. does your imac have a DVD drive? If so it uses Magnets to keep the glass on the front and you use suction cups to take it off. If you end up doing it yourself watch either iFixit or OWC's video on that machine. The rest requires a #10 Torx screwdriver for the screen. [/QUOTE]
