Mac Forum / General / Hardware / July 2008Magnets in iMac display
Last night, quite by accident, I noticed a magnetic field at the upper right of my 24" iMac's display. A little more investigating revealed that there are 14 such regions around the display itself: four each spaced along the top and bottom and three each at the sides. Anyone know what purpose they serve?

If you were to attached suctions cups to the display screen and pull you would find out that the glossy cover plate is held in place by these magnets and can be removed for cleaning.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for confirming it.

Is a special tool required to remove the glossy cover plate?
