Step 1
Rear Cover
- Unplug power cable and all AV cables from rear of TV and carefully lay TV face down on a clean flat working surface ensuring that you don’t damage the LCD screen.
- Using a Philips driver remove the 18 screws from the rear panel.
- Gently lift the rear cover off the TV. You may need to wiggle the cover a little however there are no clips holding the cover on so it should come off easily if you have fully unscrewed all 18 screws.
