Two months ago, I disassembled the machine and damaged the screen [t/885083] (https://www.v2ex.com/t/885083). The 2017 machine itself is worthless, and the screen is even worthless if it is broken. It still takes up space after two months, which looks really awkward.
Taobao contacted N companies, and only two companies supported maintenance. The quotation was 700 yuan (no guarantee of repair, no free shipping), so I gave up.

Xianyu searched casually, and there happened to be a store selling iMac screens. The maintenance fee was 150 yuan, and the screen glass was 500 yuan (the merchant said that the repair needed to remove the glass), plus the shipping cost was about 700 yuan.
I asked if replacement was supported, and it was just fine: 1,300 yuan for the back-pressed glass screen-400 yuan discount for the broken screen = 900 yuan supplement.
After receiving the new screen, I mailed the broken screen to the merchant. After receiving it, the merchant saw that my screen was aging (red all around) and didn't want it, saying that it couldn't be sold if it was aging. Finally, I made up 100 yuan to make a deal.
* * Summary: I spent a total of 1,000 yuan to replace a 2020 screen (although it is also a rear-pressed glass, it has no aging or bad spots, perfect) * *

Note: Now my iMac doesn't have screen glue attached, so I use transparent tape around it to randomly remove it to facilitate future disassembly of the 😅

Anonymous3439 Dec 14, 2022My 15 models are still productive now ~ but there will be afterimages, and the screensaver will be fine for meetings

Poster Dec 14, 2022@ Anonymous3439 My previous one also has afterimages, with redness all around (especially the white background is the most obvious), which is the most basic manifestation of screen aging. It's okay if I didn't see it. Once I saw it, it's quite uncomfortable. Now I feel comfortable after changing the screen
