[QUOTE="howardc64, post: 1731521, member: 381897"] Just following up on the repair. Got the inverter board vsync connector soldered on and LCD connector (from ebay for like $3) on the motherboard soldered on. iMac works great. Soldering is very tricky. I bought a really nice soldering iron (Hakko FX-888D rated up to 70W and 900F) with a super pointy curved tip for this. Very hard to melt some of the solder on some of the pads. Some of the LCD connector pads+pins are really close to tiny resistors so very small space. Super fine curved tip is a must (I used Hakko 900M-T-I, $4 on ebay) [/QUOTE]
