Is it possible to replace worn out Thunderbolt ports on a 2014 iMac 5k 27"?? What parts would be needed? I love my imac, but I think using the thunderbolt ports for my monitors have just worn out to where the monitors will blink on and off when the connector-adapter moves. Those are fine, i tested them… but I think something inside the port is just worn out or something? ANY SUGGESTIONS??
Not good ;-{ The iMac’s all use a frame which holds the ports on the backside of the logic board as you can see here:
So if your port is worn you’ll need to replace the logic board - Ouch! If you can, try using a hub to off load the constant wear. Or, if you can, try replacing the monitors cable (The Thunderbolt display cable can be replaced)
