Can I know the best way of to fix a 27” iMac broken stand hinge? If any one have video content then it will be better.
I hope you are up to this. This is a big project! There is two parts to the process: The first part is removing the logic board and the center fan to gain access to the hinge assembly cover so you can replace the hinge assembly.

Make sure you have a good Torx driver and I use a little toluene to soften the screw seal material around the hinge screws using a cotton swab (Q-Tip) as the screws are hard to get out.
