Hi everyone,
I need a new part connecting the monitor to the board for my "hemispherical" iMac G4. If someone knows where I can locate this part would you please let me know? Thanks for support,

Is this a good question?

Sorry I haven't finished this guide but I put it up for you. In step 4, does this look like your's? : iMac G4 17 800 MHz EMC 1936 Battery Replacement
I haven't torn it down enough to completely examine this cable but I can see it running into the neck. I'll go take the monitor apart and see where it terminates and let you know. If it's not soldered onto the display panal I don't know why you couldn't replace it. It may be a job feeding it through the neck.
UPDATE
I removed the screen and as I suspected, the cable plugs right into the middle of the LCD.

Albert, I don't know if you've solved this problem yet. I am wondering - do you mean the part that connects to the LCD at the top or the part that connects to the motherboard at the bottom?
The part at the top is a standard 30 pin LCD JAE connector. If you go to ebay and search for LVDS cable, you will find several cables that have the same 30 pin connector that you can use.
The bottom that connects to the motherboard is also a type of JAE - but female connector. You can buy the receptacle from online suppliers such as mouser or digikey, the name of the receptive is: 656-FI-WE21P-HFE
However its tiny and difficult to work with. Worst case scenario you could always buy a replacement neck on ebay.

First we need to know which machine you have. Look on the bottom of the stand for the speed of your machine.

sorry for the late reply, it is a 15 inch one with 700mhz. The technician told me that I need to change the whole flat panel as it is not possible to change the cable between the flat panel and the board. He says that there is no socket type connection to prevent any possible change of the cable. Is this true? What can be done? many thanks, albert
