Disconnect power and video cables from monitor. Place screen on table, back side up. Remove 4 Phillips head screws that hold the stand to the back of the monitor case, and remove stand (base). Flip monitor case up, screen facing you and bottom up. On the bottom edge by the two corners, approximately 1-1/2 inches from the sides, there is a small rectangular slot between the screen bezel and the main case. Start on the right side (not side with power switch) and insert a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and give it a twist clockwise, prying the bezel corner off the case.

Observe the plastic clip on the bezel with three holes in it to the right of the slot as you pry open off bezel. There are four more clips like that one on the bottom edge of the bezel. Insert a sharply pointed knife (a steak knife or similar) between the bezel's surface and the case's inner surface, and slide it to the left, pushing the point toward the other clips. They will pop open as you go. Next, do the same on each side, and finally on the top edge. This will completely loosen the bezel from the case.

There is a small printed circuit board with the power and other control switches and it's cable to the monitor's chassis, mounted on the bezel by three small Phillips head screws. Unscrew them and remove the board from the bezel. Now you can lift the entire chassis out of the rear case.

To access the inverter/power supply printed circuit board and others, remove the small screw in the cover shield and slide it in the opposite direction of the arrow and remove the cover. Do the same for the other cover (no screw there), to gain access to the plugs underneath. Carefully unplug the 4 CCFL cables, and make note of their positions and color orientation. Unplug the large LCD panel cable by squeezing the sides of the plug and pulling on the plug (not the cables) to free it. After removing the two screws on each side of the chassis, you can remove the LCD panel from the chassis cover, exposing the inverter/power supply and VGA input boards. Place the panel in a safe place to prevent damage. You are now ready to make repairs!
