TCL 49S515 How to remove lcd panel

[anupkg1985]

Hi,

I have got a TCL 50 inch tv which has some water damage on the diffuser sheets. TV is turning on and could see the water stains on the screen. I'm trying to open the panel however I don't have idea, how to remove LCD panel. Looks like bezel is not removable from 3 sides so only one side can be opened.

Looks like LDC and back reflective sheets are is glued inside the metal frame. Any one has idea, how to remove it? I see some water stain on the screen, how to get rid of those without removing lcd?

Usually have small screws and they have to be pried loose because they snap together.
I can't tell if the plastic is covering the panel or not.

Unfortunately I don't see any screws on the edges or on the frame. I could see double sided black tape inserted on the panel.

It couldn't help much though as its backlight model and the one I have is the edge light model.

Like in the video, I'd have a feel around the edges with one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32903760354.html

The panel is loose in the frame otherwise, it makes sense. They aren't assembled with disassembly in mind.

Just seen the video I was shocked to see him lift the screen up from the horizontal flat surface especially with a large screen. I never do that as it's so likely to stress the screen and damage it by cracking it. I always leave the screen TV vertical and then lift it up around 1cm from the surrounding housing which is then already positioned close by a wall. It is then then left resting against the wall.
The only other way on this would be to lift the frame out if the outside bezel isn't removed. Obviously this would be very difficult to achieve without causing any damage to the screen ensuring its not taped or glued inside it!
Good luck
