    Problems opening Viewsonic VA903B-2

    Hi All,

    I have a busted unit and am quite sure that replacing the caps is going to fix most of the problems.

    First issue is how to remove the front of the display.

    I have unscrewed everything on the rear and the unit seems quite determined not to fall apart yet.

    Exploded views from the service manual indicates some recessed tabs attaching the front bezel to the rear molding.

    I am being vary wary about jamming in a screwdriver because I know I am damage the appearance of the unit.

    Any pointers how to gently take this unit apart will be most appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Mark.

    If it's like other Viewsonics, it's very difficult. There are several methods to separate the two pieces of the case - thin bladed screwdriver, putty knife, 'case popper', credit card, and my favorite, guitar pick. By starting at the bottom any evidence of prying will be hidden.

          I really don't have to ask permission.
          But:
          I could afford the $2 to buy a dozen or so at goodwill to scatter about my tool boxes anyway.
          .
          Much cheaper than screwdrivers even....
