Why is my screen falling down?
I have an early 2013 iMac and the tilt mechanism is no longer functioning properly and will not ‘lock-in’ at any point.
Is this a good question?

Apple offered an extended warranty on this issue. Basically, a plastic tab which holds a counter spring snapped off so the spring is not counter balancing the weight of the display Apple Offering Refunds to Customers Who Paid for iMac Hinge Repairs. Hopefully its still available. Otherwise, it’s a bit of work as you need to pull the logic board to get to the hinge.

Trust me, removing the logic board isn't for the faint of the heart.
I would rather not have to remove the logic board on my own on this machine. I will try to set something up with the genius bar and see what happens. Thanks guys.

For a jury rigged solution you can use the iMac Service wedge. This will hold it in the back position. If it is to far back for you, carve it down so it’s in the position you desire:
