      Well that would work but, there may be a better way!
      There are 3 screws along the bottom of the monitor, remove those along with any screws where the stand is attached. There are 2 slots on the bottom where the halves of the monitor come together; with a screw driver, you can use those for leverage.
      With another small screwdriver on the sides of the monitor where the front shiny cover, and the duller back case come together, pry the shiny piece away from the back cover and lift.
      It is a very tight snap fit, you have to go slow and coax it off.When you get the front cover started you can usually pull it off with your fingers by lifting up.
      BE VERY CAREFUL with the front panel switch ribbon, it is easy to damage.
      Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

        HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
        by momaka
        Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

        AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
        by wattage
        Hello Badcaps Community,

        I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

        The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

        by ant3202
        Hi Everyone

        Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.

        The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.

        LG 23MP55HQ LED Monitor turns off after a few seconds or flickers.
        by Rick_1234
        Good evening, gentlemen.

        I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.

        To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.

        Wise Wing F199 19'' LCD monitor - recapped
        by momaka
        Looking through my repair pictures and notes, it's been a long time since I posted anything in the LCD monitors section. So here goes that.

        I'm dedicating this thread to one of the very first LCD monitors I repaired (if not the first one), which was more than 10 years ago now. The monitor is a Wise Wing, model F199. It's a 19” CFL-backlit LCD. I got it for free off of Craigslist in 2009 from a guy, who said he bought it for cheap from Wallmart and the monitor worked only for a little less than 2 years before quitting.

        When I saw the Craigslist post, I wasn't...
