I picked up this oldie as a Freecycle freebie. Replacing an open fuse in the inverter fixed most of the problems, so I put it to work on my desk. Gradually I became aware that the display was not working properly. Specifically, on a dark green background two broad (about 1") lines ran 2/3rd of the way across the screen. It was not noticeable on a white background, but was barely visible on a blue background. The first cause that came to mind was the CCFL backlights (something had to blow that fuse, right?)
Opening up the case and isolating the LCD panel itself was easy, but now I'm into unfamiliar territory. The panel seems to be built on a stainless steel frame. Everything seems to be held in place with a white plastic back frame with four 'catches' on each side. These latch into slots in the front frame. There are four screws of unknown purpose on the front of the metal frame. Of course, there is also the cover over the electronics section of the display.
So how do I disassemble this without breaking something?
Thanks,
