489454 2006-10-06 01:15:00 actually, no, it's a saying I'm not familiar with, a bit like removing the back of a Dell monitor. jinja_thom (4306)

I think the question is more: Why do you want to remove it? If you don't know how then it is highly likely that you won't know what to do when you get it off anyway.

What is the problem?

489456 2006-10-06 02:23:00 With a lot of modern equipment, more questions follow: "Do you know how to replace the back", and then, "Do you know how to replace the back so the unit will work again?". Finally, "How much is a new one?" Graham L (2)

how do you remove the back and poke around without killing yourself with the enormous voltage monitors have stored in them?

Shame on you pctek, you should know to go here (faqf1.net.nz) for the good oil on how to work safely inside a monitor.

Not that LCDs have much in the way of high voltages inside them anyway, and those that they do have are not readily exposed to touch.

There are many more hazards in a CRT monitor and it is genuinely possible to fry yourself if you grab hold of the wrong bits.

489459 2006-10-06 06:51:00 Billy, Billy, Billy.....We can assume that Pctek knows exactly what to touch and what not to in a monitor, and was merely pointing out to the tinkerer who started the thread that it may not be a place to go touching random pieces of bare metal with a screwdriver.

Can I touch this......owww
What about this.........owww

Alright, Im gonna stab it here and here with 2 screwdrivers while standing in a puddle and holding an extension chord in my teeeth........AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG FFFFFFRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAKKKKKIIINNNNNNNNNNNNH HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTUUUUUUUUURRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF

489460 2006-10-06 07:02:00 Awwwwwwwwwwwww come on........i was let loose on the inside of my peach. managed to install my dvd burner......and didnt kill it or me........:p

and thats an enormous feat........knowing my electric personality......:p

but yes if ya going to dive into something like that best not touch anything extra or unwanted...

and ya live to tell the story.
well at least i did...........

but if you have no reason to open and dive into a tower, or monitor..then i wouldnt reccomend it. get someone who knows what they doing.. if you must fix or install something into it....
