    Hi there,

    I realise that some time has elapsed on this thread, but I am hoping someone will be able to let me know more about how to open the case of the Elotouch ET1915L monitor. These units seem impervious to gentle encouragement, and I need some clear advice on where to prise the case etc. before I break it.

    Can anyone please help? I noticed tmcw posted earlier in this thread and I am hoping me may be able to post some photos / advice on case removal for this screen?

    Many thanks,

    Aaron.
    In general you will find a seam that runs around the outer edge of the monitor. This is where the front and back meet. Usually the front has a lip that overlaps the back but the reverse may be true. First I remove any screws that might hole it together, then I start on the bottom (less obvious if you mar the surfaces) and slide a thin bladed screwdriver into the crack and lift the lip. Then I use a guitar pick to expand the gap, sliding it left and right, adding more guitar picks as necessary. As you continue up the sides you will hear the latches pop. Once the bottom and side latches are released the back (or sometimes the front) slides off.

    Others use credit cards, a putty knife, a butter knife, etc instead of the guitar pick.

    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

      AOC U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
      by turmix
      Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.

      The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
      At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine

      During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and...

      Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
      by Ryan.man
      Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

      My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

      This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

      A2141 Screen replacement. Boots screen freezes on Apple Logo 1/3 status bar unless connected to second monitor.
      by abajor
      Having this very weird issue.
      The owner of this laptop complained about screen being intermittent when opening and closing, and has been using the laptop on a thunderbolt video connection since the screen failed.

      I swapped with a working screen from an A2141 waiting for parts.

      The Os exhibits this weird behavior where it boots to to 1/3 the status bar, then it makes the boop sound. It's at the log in but for whatever reason the desktop isn't loaded.

      The laptop boots fine into recovery mode. I updated from Monterey to Sonoma and the laptop still has...

      AOC 27 monitor Q27G2WG4 doesn't display logo or image on screen
      by 3D Modelka
      Hello. I have a problem with my AOC 27 monitor, specifically model Q27G2WG4, which I have been using for 3 years. The monitor stopped turning on: when I turn it on, the backlight turns on, the indicator starts glowing white, but the logo on the screen does not appear, and there is no image. However, if I check in the Windows system, the monitor is displayed as connected and working. I tried connecting it via HDMI and DP, but the result remains the same. If I turn the monitor on and off multiple times, it will eventually start and work. However, when the monitor is working, there are no issues....

      Dell 34 inch U3419W Monitor with thin stripes on partial screen
      by ChristianBr01
      Hello everyone,
      I have a Dell U3419W Monitor that has some thin stripes on a part of the screen since Tuesday.
      This lines cover about a third of the screen and appear for 2 seconds before disappear for another 2 seconds.
      This repeats the whole time. I have not opened the case yet cause I had no time, but will try to fix it on this weekend. For me, it looks like a problem on the TCon... Am I right?
      Does someone have seen this before?...
