Hi!

I own a 21.5" mid 2011 iMac, Intel i5 2.5Ghz and all those things. Unfortunately, LCD LM215WF3 (SD) (C2) died surprisingly. I suspect about LCD, just because it "switched off" with no warning. Also, all four diagnostic leds on board are on, but have no image. Inverter board was already replaced with no success

I have a spare LM215WF3 (SD) (A1) from an i3 iMac 2010. I was wondering if there's any chance I can replace its controller board with 2011 one, so 2011 iMac can use that screen.

I removed tape and cover shield, and found that board uses flex cables to the LCD. I'm afraid it can not be removed without damage, am I right? I mean those orange on the upper side of the board

Any help will be very much appreciated

(please excuse my english)
