Im about to give up in this. It seems im not the first person to try and pull this apart and the previous person has burred a lot of the tine screws holding the metal surround on.
I have no idea how to get them out, or replace them if I do get them out.
There are several ways to remove rounded out screws. Use screw extractors, cut a slot in the top of the head and use a flat bladed screwdriver, grab with decent pliers, grind the top off flat or use a punch and hammer to knock it round although this probably won't work as they are small.

I dont dare to try this as I would definately affect the panel. I will work out something for it, its just not a high priority.
I need to get another tv out (I have several in the shed that need work) so I can have a win on one.
Im still very much a learner at this tv repair so I put an ad in the local online classifieds for dead LCD tv's and got inundated with them.
At last count I think I had 15 sitting in the shed waiting for me lol
I grabbed out an LG 50LB5610 yesterday, stripped it all down because the leds werent working, found it needed 5 leds, put it back together as I would have to wait to get the leds and cracked the bloody screen in top right hand corner because it didnt seat properly and I pushed it too hard to straighten it.
It always amazes me how easily they crack.
So that one is parted out.
I am finding a lot that the tv's I am getting have already been opened and given up on by others. Either because they couldnt work out how to fix it or they rounded the screws etc. Such fun finding a damaged tv from someone else. I guess this happens a lot in this game eh?
