Acer Nitro XV273 and Predator XB273, look inside and disassembly guide.
Introduction:
Hello everyone, this topic is more of a knowledge sharing and look inside type of post, but for someone working on this model of display it might be useful. Recently I bought Acer Nitro XV273 XB MIIPRZX with busted electronic, but screen was intact, price was incredibly low, so I took a gamble and bought the unit and try to fix it. As I dug inside, I found out that my motherboard was not responding, although all voltages seemed fine. I wasn't able to find any reliable information about this monitor on the web (only some pictures of motherboards from Ebay). By some research and comparison, I was able to cross-reference that some other models of Acer monitors are using the same motherboard, although there is a version of the motherboard without connector for the USB HUB. Locally I bought different monitor with broken screen Acer Predator XB273GXBMIIPRZX, and bingo inside I found that everything is the same. Motherboard, power supply even screen model is the same. The only difference between Nitro and Predator I found was the front bezel and logo on the stand.
Part numbers:
Motherboard - 715G9596-MOB-000-005K
Power supply - 715G9396-P03-002-003R
Panel - M270HAN03.0

Disassembly instructions:
You have to star from, the back, whole back panel comes off as one, where you will find 5 screws. 4 of them are inside the VESA mount, a 5th one is on the bottom. Next you will have to start from the bottom. There are some plastic latches inside that are close to edge where two halves combines. I recommend using plastic opening picks like Ifixit ones.
After that you have to go along both sides, I suggest starting from top corners. Latches are hidden a bit farther from the edge, I used a metal spudger to reach farther inside and a plastic pic that I put on the edge to protect the case. Those latches are pretty strong and pop with a little more force.
Last is top with similar procedure as sides.
After that, you will have to be careful because the button board is still attached to the back panel. You will have to rotate the panel, keeping the left side close to the rest of the monitor. After that you will be able to disconnect ribbon cable and one connector and back panel will be free.
When I will get some more free time will try to add a diagram with voltages from the motherboard and dump of the flash.
Hopefully this will help someone
