stand has given up

My 27 Inch iMac's stand appear to have given up and is now permanently tilting downwards. It won't allow you to reposition the angle of the tilt - it merely revert to the most downward facing position. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Could this be a design fault?

It's a known problem with 2013 27 inch iMacs - a component in the tilting mechanism has broken. As there have been many incidences of it you may be able to get it repaired for free. In the meantime I gather that the inner cardboard tube of a toilet roll can be tucked underneath the hinge to support the screen, though fortumately I've not yet had the opportunity to try it.
