After the adhesive has been removed, you can use a suction cup to help remove the display from the case.

Next, carefully remove the three cables.

(From left to right) The first cable can be removed with a prying tool or with a fingernail. With the second, the tab on the ZIF Connector must be flipped up so that the cable can be removed. With the third, you must lift the tab on the left of the socket upwards so that you can remove it.

Where is a good place to buy replacement screens? I have and Apple 24" iMac with M1 Chip (Mid 2021, Silver) and afraid I’m going to buy the wrong screen or a fake one. Thanks for time
Apple has eliminated the ability for these parts to be available from anyone but Apple and they charge so much that you might as well buy a new iMac. So much for their supposed commitment to repairability. There whole repairability program is nothing but a forward facing PR campaign while their actual processes are meant to encourage their continued windfall from Applecare or the sale of new machines. They are happy to have you trade in your existing product that they then fix and resell, just not willing to do that at a reasonable cost for their actual customers.
Since you partner with Apple why no listing of availability of the actual part? And if it's not available what is the point of this being titled "Screen Replacement"?
