Philips 42inch backlight

[PL519]

Hi guys,
i am referring to this thread : https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...t=18596&page=2. I have exchange two or more CCFL´s from an AUO 42 inch. So far i have managed to remove the upper metal frame of the display with the display laying on it´s back on my workbench and the lcd glass facing upwards. Please, can anybody describe the procedure to remove the glass safely without breaking it and remove it back after changing the CCFL´s? I had success with max. 20''ers but i´m a bit afraid with this dimension. Any help is pretty much appreciated!
TIA,

Re: Philips 42inch backlight

remove the steel bezel,
undo the ribbon cables from the t-con,
then you can unclip the plastic frame that the lcd sits on and lift it as one,
remove the diffuser plates and then you will have access to your globes.

Hi,
thanks a lot for the advice. I finally did it your way! Those things are so damn fragile, it really caused me headaches and i was totally sweaty...! Nice experience though!
Thanks again,
