I’ve read everything I can find…what I haven’t seen is any video or photo… I really need to see photos of the hinge Apple uses for the VESA mount vs the Stand mount. I have said iMac completely disassembled trying to figure out installing ANY VESA mount kit…or if someone can point me to somewhere I can purchase the iMac VESA setup for this iMac that has a stand currently? The iMac was donated so I didn’t have option of ordering a VESA mount version. I have to switch…can’t use a mount that goes over the Stand due to space issue. Thanks Kriss
It’s a fair amount of work! Here’s the needed parts VESA Mechanism Plate (923-0532)VESA Tongue screws x8 (923-0334)VESA Tongue (923-00084)VESA screws x2 (923-0418)VESA Plate (923-00082) You need to get behind the logic board to get to the screws
First you need to take the 8 screws out (Light Blue) then the 6 screws holding the hinge (Orange) carefully lift off the hinge. Once the hinge is clear you can then put the VESA Mechanism Plate on reusing the 6 screws.
Then mount the tongue on with the 8 screws
Lastly mount the VESA plate on using the VESA screws
You’ll need to find a friend within an authorized service center willing to order the parts for you.
Dan, does iMac Late 2012 use the same parts as described above? Thanks
Why do I need the VESA Mechanism Plate (923-0532) its not on the images?
