    • Before beginning, unplug your iMac and lay it on a soft surface as shown.

    • Stick a suction cup near each of the two top corners of the glass panel.

    • To attach the suction cups we sell, first position the suction cup with the movable handle parallel to the face of the glass panel. While lightly holding the suction cup against the glass, raise the movable handle until it is parallel with the other handle.

    • If your suction cups refuse to stick, try cleaning both the glass panel and the suction cup with a mild solvent.

    • Gently lift the glass panel perpendicular to the face of the LCD enough to clear the steel mounting pins attached along the underside of the top edge of the glass panel.

    • Pull the glass panel away from the lower edge of the iMac and carefully set it aside.

    • During reinstallation, be sure to meticulously clean the inside of the glass panel and the face of the LCD as any dust or fingerprints trapped inside will be annoyingly visible when the machine is turned on.

    • Slightly lift the top edge of the display out of the outer case.

    • Do not lift it too much. There are several cables attaching the display to the logic board. Twisting or pulling the display assembly with the cables attached will damage your iMac.

    • Rotate the display out of the outer case enough to disconnect the LED backlight power cable from the LED driver board.

    • Grab the plastic pull tab secured to the display data cable lock and rotate it towards upwards.

    • Pull the display data cable straight out of its socket on the logic board.

    • Do not lift up on the display data cable, as its socket is very fragile. Pull the cable parallel to the face of the logic board.

    • Lift the audio ports out of the outer case.

    • A pair of tweezers is helpful to put the ports back in place. First insert the lower tab into the bracket on the outer case, then fasten the screw to secure the jack to the outer case.

    • During reinstallation, it may be helpful to plug in a pair of headphones to each jack before tightening them down completely.

Does anyone know whether I can connect another audio source to this iMac's Loudspeakers - and how? From the instructions it's not obvious how to use the speakers standalone from a different source.

For context: I have broken iMac with a working LCD that I can use as a external Monitor with a HDMI controller board. I would love to use the great sound of the loudspeakers, too, somehow.
