iMac (17-inch Mid 2006/Late 2006 CD) Take Apart — General Information 14
Pay particular attention to the EMI shielding inside the rear housing, shown below. The EMI shield
is easily damaged when replacing modules
Lower EMI Shield
EMI tape covers the top and sides of the display panel, and the lower EMI shield covers the logic
board along the bottom of the unit. The EMI tape and lower EMI shield are easily damaged when
removed, and removal is necessary in order to access most components within the unit.
Should the EMI tape that seals the display, or the EMI shield covering the bottom of the enclosure
(see photo below) accidentally tear, use EMI tape to repair and completely seal the unit.
