Hi all, so I'm a pretty handy guy in general and love to tinker/fix things. I've done so with a few tv's so far and re-purposed them to family members.
My latest is I have an LG 49UH6090, the backlights have turned blue and slowly getting darker. From some reading I've done the indications are that I need to replace the backlights. That doesn't look too daunting to me and I have the backlights to install.
Then I tried to take the back cover off this thing. I have every screw out (and feet) and it damn near feels like I'm going to break the back panel in order to get it off. I can't find a service manual anywhere on this. So my question to the collective is how do I get this back cover off. Are there hidden clips along the sides? If so how do I disengage them (i've tried some gentle prying to no avail).
I've attached an image of the back, the yellow spots indicate screws I removed (legs are off when I try to remove just on for the picture ) I have scoured the tv for screws and can't find any others..
