HP Touchsmart IQ506 Stand Replacement

Introduction

Replacing the stand on the HP IQ506.

The part number for the stand this system uses is the HP 507866-001 stand. Note: This part does not include screws. You will need to get the diameter with a digital caliper if you do not have the screws. I DO NOT have this information to hand right now.

What you need

The top screws on the hinge are a burden to remove. You will have to do something like the pictures here show to make it go a little easier.
