4.3.2 Rear Cover
Warning: Disconnect the mains power cord before you remove
the rear cover.
1. Refer to next figures.
2. Place the TV set upside down on a table top, using the
foam bars (see section "Service Positions").
3. Remove the screws that secure the rear cover. The screws
are located at the sides.
Be careful: Some models (mainly the smaller screen
sizes) use latches for securing the rear and front cover
together (see figure "Front cover latch location"). These
must be unlocked first before you can open the TV-set!
To open them, use e.g. a (plastic) putty knife. Insert the tool
into the gap between the front and rear cover (be extremely
careful not to scratch or dent the cabinet when inserting the
tool).
Gently release the internal latches. Note: You will hear little
popping sounds as the latches release and the rear cover
moves away from the front cover.
4. Now the rear cover could be lifted but the SSB and power
supply panel(s) are mounted in the rear cover and still
connected to the LCD panel and other boards. Those
cables should be released first!
5. To release the LVDS cable lift the back cover a few
centimetres and move it downwards the set. Now unplug
the LVDS connector [2].
Caution: be careful, as this is a very fragile connector!
6. Remove the screw [3].
7. Now the rear cover can be lifted to gain access to the
speaker cables and the IR/LED panel cable. Release the
connectors [4].
