The VESA mount attaches to the flange correct?Īt least that is my understanding. With the vesa mount on the display I am pretty sure you don't want the latch to go back inside. Note: that opening the display voids your warranty (howver, Apple claims that taking the stand off of mine voided my warranty already so.) This should have been incredibly easy for the Apple store to do I am sure seeing as how they open these types of screens (iMac screens work the same way) often I would think.Īnyways, hope this helps someon else that is stuck in the same place I was. The whole process from opening the display to closing it back up took 20 mins. Then I could relase the latch and move the flange using the stand (since it was attached with the two screws) (I screwed them in from the inside of the display. I was then able to fit the stand through the opening in the back of the display and screw in two screws to secure the stand. I went to home depot and purchased two heavy duty suction cups (these: s-Tile-75000Q/100119050#.UZG_7CtAR90 ) I found this explaination on ifixit of how to take apart the screen They would have needed the display for 3 - 5 days and couldn't explain to me how they were actually going to fix it. They claimed that removing the stand is a non-standard use of the montior which invalidates the warranty and wanted to charge me $250 to try and fix the problem. It was the first time I have been throughly angry by apple support.

I took it to an apple store for support and they gave me no help. There was no way I was going to move it without taking apart the diplay.
