super helpful, thank you for posting!

tim.id.au/laptops/apple/displays/led_cinema_display_24.pdf shows an apple part number for the plastic card which you can buy for a few dollars.

Epic save with this video. Just used the top from a cardboard box of eye glass/lense cleaning wipes from Walmart. lol Worked perfectly.

Apple makes complete garbage. This is the stupidest design ever. Thanks for the video though.

Does this not work for the iMac Pro 2017?

Great video, I was struggling to get it back on and your hint worked great - I actually used a cardboard business card, put the bend in it and it worked first time

I know this was 7 years ago but thanks for the guide, bought one of these monitors used and it came with the stand popped down with the screws visible and I had no idea how to pop it back up. Rest in peace to the pcie slot shield I used to pop it back up though lol.

THANK YOU! for putting up this helpful video. Saved me from a load of frustration....

7 years later, and this video will now help me accomplish what I need. Thanks again!!!

Saved my butt today! Thank you!

do the screw use a Allen wrench

Excellent. This 100% worked. Thanks very much so glad I came across your video. Cheers.

Thank you so much for this video! If anyone is struggling to find the right piece of plastic that will do the trick here, what worked for me was cutting a flat piece off the plastic container of Costco Eggs I had in my recycling bin. Cheers!

tkssss

How donu take the entire back off to clean out dust from the inside??

apple and retarded engineering... what nonsense

Grabbed a GoodRX card and bent it, BINGO, thanks for the video!!

Omg talk less and just do it bro

EXCELLENT !!! PERFECT Thank You Soo much for your Tips Very very useful !! 😍🤩👌

THANK YOU!!

Excellent video mate!!!! Bravo 👏🏼

Thanks man, this video helped a lot. Had to re attach the stand to an imacpro, after removing the vesa and eas not working.

Still relevant after 5 years. Was struggling to fit stand back to 27 inch Apple Thunderbolt display after it had been mounted on a Vesa. Your video was just the hint I needed and found that an expired laminated Japanese driving license with bent edge was just the right thickness and strength. Apple could provide much better instructions about this.

Once I pop that off and unscrew the stand how do I install a vesa mount? The ones I’ve seen attach to the existing stand 🤷

F...... Apple

Thank you!! I used a piece of thin cardboard bent at a 45 degree angle and it worked right away!!

What a great video, THANK YOU

Funny how there is always one screw that doesn't wanna go back in. Thanks for the video,

End of 2023 and this video is still relevant and has made my upgrade day a whole lot easier !!!. Thank you very much for the detail. Steve. Dublin, Ireland.

genius. was trying with the original Vesa mount card, only worked once I put a bend in the end as you suggested. thank you!

I have late 2009 21 inch iMac and spent over an hour trying what worked in seconds for you but no joy. I did manage to dislodge 14 year of dirt in the slot which I suspect is causing the latch inside to jam and not function.

The problem is, where do I get that plastic u used on this video?

Thank a lot!!!!!

It totally worked, Thank You!

My monitor just droops forward, is there a way of tensioning the bracket/hinge to set it at a particular angle? Thanks in advance!

The most important thing for me was to bend it down, before you put the plastic thing into it, when you reassemble it. Otherwise the mechanic seems to be stuck...

Genius!

thanks, it helped

Omg, finally get my stand back on my display.

From my research this only works on iMacs 2012 or older. Starting 2013 you cannot remove the stand.

Hello, does this also happen on an imac 27 model a2115?

Bro we tried everything but nth happened😂 it still the same😂😂

It works PERFECTLY! Thank you very much. I know, that I've done it at least once, but that was a long, long time ago. I was about to rip the remainder of my hair out, when I came across your video. Thank you, Thank you!

Hello , what your model of imac ? Please .

Great video, Thanks for sharing! - extremely helpful demonstration for removing and reinstalling mount stand!

Honestly I was struggling doing this for the first time didn't know what I was really feeling for. The reason for the thinner card is to reduce binding so you can feel the mechanism. I ended up using one of those thin metal disassembly tools. It hits the internal lever about 1/4inch in then you will feel the spring resistance another 1/2inch in and the lock is released. Obviously you cannot jam Metallic objects into the back of a computer so if you don't hit the latch after 1/4inch back it out and try again going on the upper edge aiming for the apple logo.

i Have an imac 27 (late 2013) this work for this version of imac?

My problem is what to do when the connector part retracts completely into the housing. I have no idea how to get it back out!

Nice video! An off topic question. If I plug a DVI-D (Single Link) male connector into a DVI-I (Dual link) female connector, does the connection go smoothly, or do I need a converter? I'm talking about a _Cinema Display_ screen that fits into a _Mac Pro_ (2010).
