For the iMac panel: I did some research because I wasn’t sure if it actually had a problem (I just had a hunch on the brightness and the monitor symbol had changed) - then I found one that worked as expected on alibaba, but dealing with all the glued on panel etc. Was a real pain.
For the battery: probably. I didn’t bother searching replacing that one though and gave away the laptop. I would have changed it myself but at that time my government was subsidizing small shops with half price coupons so it was actually cheaper to go to a store than to change it myself (looking back I should have just registered as a repair shop and taken the subsidy myself)

- harha 4y agoWow this is evil. Talking of a company that claims being super green by not adding a charger or using different boxes for refurbished devices, but then makes sure you have to replace your otherwise functional electronics every few years. Or also as a side note: causing a major annoyance with the non standard cable. The panel I bought doesn’t have any apple references, just the LG part number. Funnily enough, the previous model panel from the store falsely had the same part number after I opened it.
