16.005 How do I open my RGB monitor's case and get set for doing internal adjustments or repairs?
Whatever it is you plan to fix, if you remove the monitor case, you will
probably need to unplug the cable running from the circuit board to the
Controls/Switch Module on the side of the case. Use 'whiteout', nail polish,
etc. to mark the position of the plug. In more detail ...
1. Unplug everything from the monitor & let it sit for a day.
2. Put on protective GOGGLES. Place the unit face down on a wooden or
plastic-topped surface with lots of space and good lighting. Remove the screws.
Place the unit in nomal position.
3. Have a fat magazine ready. Slide the case off until you are able to see
the control leads plugged into the main board on the right side of the case.
Mark the plug position with 'white-out', nail polish, etc.. Unplug the
connector.
4. Slide off the case while supporting the monitor and slide the fat
magazine under the circuit board to prop up the monitor from behind.
5. Discharge the HV (optional, but, generally, a good idea).
6. <Do adjustments, fixes on Monitor>
7. When done, reinstall the control assembly.
8. Still wearing GOGGLES, support the monitor, remove the magazine, slide on
the case, reconnect the plug, finish sliding on the case, replace screws.
