    Stuck with opening this monitor...

    Hi guys, I'm suspecting this monitor of bad caps but can't open it for the life of me. Camera is missing at the moment so can't post a picture, but essentially there are five screws holding the backing on. I've removed the one out of each corner, but there's a fifth and final screw which is blocked by the stand. The stand feels like it's screwed onto the backing from the inside.

    Model is an Acer AL1714. Driving me completely insane, I can't open it without removing the stand and can't remove the stand without opening it.

    Any advice?

    Thanks!

    Nevermind, solution has been found.

    For future reference:

      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...

      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.
