Rarely do eBay sellers use or have access to these numbers. When I order a display it from Apple it has a part numbers starting with 661-, the descriptions are never as the ones you quoted. If they were repairing your iMac and ordered a display for diagnostics they could return it if it wasn't required. Is is on the 'computer' side or the 'display' side?Īn AASP is not allowed by Apple to sell spare parts, only to use them in repairs they undertake. Would any hardware diagnostic programs tell me if the logic board connector is damaged? I assume the logic board connector is one of the ends the LVDS connects to. I may also try to remove the LVDS cable (from both ends) and then use a continuity tester to see if all the pins go through.
Hard to believe the system is so fragile. That is, I didn't knock, drop, hit, or force anything. The frustrating thing is that nothing obvious happened during the upgrade. I've ordered a LVDS cable so hopefully the cable just got damaged. I tried cleaning both by blowing on them (thinking that maybe there was dust somewhere) but no luck. I looked at both cables and their connectors with a magnifying glass and couldn't see any damage (eg. I've tried reseating both cables several times without success and I made sure the clamp bar was down and in place. Yes, I'm not reapplying the tape until after I get this nailed down. 3) anyone else have this problem after opening an iMac? 2) am I correct in my assessment of the two display cables? what are each of their functions? It looks like you can buy a replacement cable for the ‘data’ cable (about $30) but the other (8 wire) cable is a bit more tricky.

So my questions are 1) any thoughts on what might have happened and ideas on how to fix. I looked carefully at the pins and cables and they seem fine. I tried opening the system and reseating the cables a few times but the line persists. One that looks like a data cable (with lots of pins) and one that looks like a power cable (with 8 wires). Since I only replaced the HD I only really touched the two cables that go between the display and the main-board. Sorry about the quality, it’s hard to photograph.
That is while the rest of the display shows osx and whatever it's supposed to, the involved pixels always show what's in the images below. The pixels involved do not display what is asked of them. The lines run from the top to the bottom of the display. It looks to be about 20 pixels wide of dark pixels and one center pixel that's lit. Most people talk about a defect in some iMacs (due to a bad capacitor) that cause thin 1-pixel wide vertical lines. The vertical line seems different than what most others report when I google this problem. On the bad side I have this persistent display issue. On the bright side the rest of the computer and SSD work fine. On this machine, the process went smoothly but when I reassembled the system I now have a vertical line on the display.

I've done this before on another mac without problem. I have a 2013 iMac 21.5" that I recently opened to replace the HD with a SSD.
