iM 4,1-14,4 2010 27" iMac broken display connector?

[Radmcg]

I have a 27" 2010 iMac. Upgraded the CPU to I7 and HDD to SSD. 4 hours later I was putting the monitor back in. I was so proud of myself. Then I was replacing the ribbon cable from the monitor and heard a crack. Boy that a great way to ruin a good high. Any way the cable was connected and the connector while loose from the mother board was attached to the connections. I figured what the heck I'll plug it in and see what happens. It seems to be running fine. Anyone else done this? I thought I had a paper weight. Any idea what to expect from this. Seems the connector came loose from the board but stayed hooked up by the solder joints. Looks very involved to resolder a new connection on from the videos I have seen. I guess I will just have wait and see. The sad thing is I order a wx 4150 for it and was going to upgrade the video card as well. Can't see anyway that connection is going to survive another disassembly if it survives at all. Really just trying to see if anyone else has had this break and still work?

You just broke the locking mechanism, not the socket on the logicboard.
It's not easy to break the solderjoint, or the socket itself.
Resoldering/replacing the socket requires good solder skill and tools/equipments.

By the way, there are 4 cables connecting the LCD panel to the logicboard and other parts. Which cable you are talking about?
- LCD backlight power
- V-sync cable
- LCD panel temperature sensor
- Video signal cable

I think it's the video signal cable. It's the ribbon cable that attaches just below the GPU on the 2010 27"iMac. Like I said it's working fine. The problem is I wanted to upgrade the GPU and need to be able to disconnect the cable to get the monitor out again. I'm afraid I'm going to turn it into a paper weight if I try to disconnect it again.
