26" LCD Panel Removal

Figures 3-3 through 3-7 illustrate the necessary steps to remove the LCD
panel. The pedestal base and wall mount brackets are removed first. The
wall mount brackets are removed when a 26" or 32" panel is replaced, but
not when changing out a 40' or 46" panel since they will be needed grasp
and lift the heavier panel. Always remove the speakers and set them on
the sub-chassis assembly. The magnets on the speakers will stick to the
sub-chassis or panel when they are lifted from the bezel and could cause
damage to the panel or speakers.
Note the location of all wire harnesses and any tape securing them. The
routing of the wires into their original location is critical to minimize EMI.
Use caution when unplugging connectors. Most have a locking mechanism
that must be released before unseating them. This is especially true for
the LVDS connector between the BU1 board and the LCD panel.
Once the sub-chassis assemblies have been released by removing the
indicated screws and all required cables unplugged, stack the components
together and carefully lift them from the panel making sure that no cables
or connectors get caught while removing the parts.
Note any hardware that is still on the original panel and transfer to the
replacement as needed.
