Our 5-Step Process for iMac Screen Repair
We begin with a comprehensive examination of your iMac screen to identify the exact problem. Our technicians check for physical damage, test backlight functionality, assess LCD integrity, examine display cables, and run diagnostic software to determine whether you need glass replacement only, full LCD assembly, or other display-related repairs. This thorough analysis ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate repair recommendations.
After diagnostics, we provide a clear explanation of the issues found and present your repair options with upfront pricing. You’ll learn whether glass-only replacement is possible (more affordable) or if full LCD replacement is necessary. We explain the differences in cost, quality, and longevity for each option so you can make an informed decision that fits your budget and needs.
Once you approve the repair, our skilled technicians carefully disassemble your iMac following Apple’s precise procedures. We work in a controlled environment to prevent dust contamination, meticulously remove the damaged screen components, and install your new display using specialised tools designed specifically for iMac screen removal. Every connection is secured properly, and adhesive seals are applied to ensure your iMac remains dust and moisture-resistant.
Following installation, we conduct extensive testing including pixel testing across the entire screen, backlight uniformity checks, color accuracy verification, brightness level testing, and viewing angle assessment. For Retina displays, we perform professional color calibration to ensure your screen displays accurate colors for photography, video editing, and design work. We also test touch sensitivity if applicable and verify proper functioning of all display features.
Before returning your iMac, we perform a final quality inspection and clean the screen thoroughly. When you arrive for pickup, we demonstrate the repair quality, show you the screen functioning properly, and explain warranty coverage details. You’ll receive documentation of the work performed and care instructions to help protect your new screen and maximise its lifespan.
