How to fix Broken Internal Display Connector on iMac 27"
Hi,
I have a 27” iMac 27 that one of my coworkers has damaged the display connector while pulling the LCD hard and snapped some pins from the board.
This was done while I was replacing a hard drive that failed. "Common thing with the iMacs."
Before coming here I have Googled the problem, read so many forums and found a post in Macrumors.com, where people had this issue and fixed it by ordering a new connector and soldering it on.
I went ahead and ordered that connector, when i got it I quickly start soldering it. Unfortunately it is a bit challenging and spent days to get right without bridging it, but it is impossible.
I have become so impatient that I want to throw the whole thing in the garbage, but I have got so many video projects to do being a video editor.
I want to know if other people are experiencing this issue, and how to they dealt with it. Also if there are anyway repair places that I send the logic board and they fix it for cheap, I know how much Apple is demanding and I just can't afford that.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
