I'm not sure if you can somehow 'trick' the system or not. Even if you can, is there a means to recognize the 2nd monitor in OSX or the upcoming macOS
Well, by sort of accident I found a solution. Plugging and unplugging the lcd screen to test, I damaged one of 3 ribbon glued connector. It amazes me how all this stuff works. What looked like just a translucent plastic piece it had imbedded like 50+ contact lines. There it came to me. What if i take that paper thin LED inverter board and find a home inside the iMac. Problem was I needed to make sure it auto booted cause screen only comes alive at log-in screen. A bit longer to boot, but I got there. So I got it to work. However the color is off. There is a green tint. Did I mess up the HDMI wiring, or could my panel sitting for so long just doesn't have anymore. There are no artifacts, jitters or anything, just the color greenish. I swear when i first discovered this lcd trouble booting in windows, the screen was fine.
