There are five screws holding in two circuit boards (see the second picture). You'll need it later, so you should go get it back. At some point, the black plastic insulating film/sheet thing will fall to the ground, where it will possibly be grabbed by a poorly trained dog and taken into the kitchen. Set the screen aside and flip over the box. Sorry.Īt this point, the box should be completely disconnected from the rest of the monitor (you'll be tailing around the control board, but it's nothing to worry about). At any rate, the sides are a little weird - you still want to insert the screwdriver into the crease, but instead of twisting, you want to flex the front panel outward. I actually opened the top and the bottom first, then went to work on the sides, but you could probably do "top, side, bottom, t'other side" or "bottom, side, top, t'other side" (and in whichever direction your handedness inspires you). Work your way across the top or bottom edge, popping open the clips with the screwdriver. Once you've opened a gap, you can use a second screwdriver to hold open the gap, or (my approach) jam a finger in the gap and endure the pinching pain. don't TRY to break them, but breaking one or two might be inevitable. Several broke (see pictures), but it doesn't seem to have a negative impact on the reassembly. I found that a fairly large-bladed screwdriver, inserted in the crease along the edge and twisted, did a good job of popping apart the little clips holding the panels together.
Don't go crazy-deep with the tip - you want to pry against the front and back plastic pieces, not against the screen. Starting at either the top or the bottom edge (the sides are weird), gently pry the panels apart using a flat-head screwdriver. I'll try to point out dumb stuff I did along the way, so you probably don't want to just look at the pictures and do what I did, or you'll repeat my dumb stuff too. Not sayin' this is the correct way, just the way it worked for me. I'm a mechanical guy, so I figured I could figure out how the thing went together (and therefore came apart). Spoiler alert: It worked for me on both monitors! I searched online for disassembly instructions for my monitor and came up empty, hence, this Instructable. I have two Acer X193W+ monitors that kicked the bucket, and I learned online that replacing their blown "caps" (that's what people who know electrical stuff and are cooler than me call "capacitors") can often make them fully functional for under $10. I apologize that some of my photos are a bit blurry or partially obscured by my gigantic paws, but I was actually taking photos to help with re-assembly, then thought about doing an Instructable quite far into the process. This is my first Instructable, so I thought I'd ease into it with a disassembly project, rather than actually making something, 'cause I figure I can slightly reduce the trouble you might get in following my steps. This project deals with capacitors on an LCD monitor power supply board, and the word "capacitor" comes from the Latin word for "capacity" (I believe), as in "this doo-dad has the capacity to kill you if you're not careful." Someone can fact check that for me. I'm not a licensed electrical-anything, so it's distinctly possible that I did something that could/should have killed me and I just lucked out. "man-made lightning"), you might want to give this a second thought. If you're not comfortable with electricity (a.k.a. When it's done click the "Finish" button.DISCLAIMER: This project involves electricity.
