Are you seeing a "slotted bolt head" down in the vesa mount hole?

Re: Remove rear panel Sony Bravia KD-65X7500F
The tv is at our other place at the moment, not back there until Sunday. I am only leading the blind saying the vesa mounting spots need removing, as I am clutching at straws. My head tells me the vesa area has nothing to do with it, but for some reason the bloke in the video removed his.
It appears any service guide doesn't match with this tv, as a continued search brings me up no reference material from a service point of view.
Seems more and more likely I'll have to pay a tv techSignature:Seemingly hopeless tv fixer

Re: Remove rear panel Sony Bravia KD-65X7500F
I would take a chance on doing a "pay for manual service"... one day access for $5.00 and up to X manuals. Its got to be worth it to try.
something like https://servicemanuals.us/sony/tv/kd...scription.html
might be worth a gamble. there are a few other sites with similar setups.Last edited by budwich; 06-04-2020, 09:37 AM.

When I go to many of the tv manual sites, I cannot actually even find they have the model number listed anyway...that is a problem, but I will look again....thanks for the tip.
Has anyone here actually worked/seen, one of the tv's I am talking about here?

Re: Remove rear panel Sony Bravia KD-65X7500F
Here is another picture of one of many ways Sony engineers like to make your life miserable as a Tv technician. The first picture is a Sony XBR-65x930D and on it it has plastic clips that slide under that top metal vent to release so on it after all the screws are off you push the back cover DOWN after the bottom comes out. Fairly easy on this model. On Sony's some time there will be a slider release on the left and right you slide up and THAT releases the cover after all the screws are out. And then there is the nightmare flat head sliders that wreak havoc on your day and you just want to go out and take a sledge hammer to a customers tv that hasn't paid for his repair for 3 months. Here is a excellent artist rendition of what these look like and on these types you have to push the back cover up to slide those slots off those tight ass screw heads. Never a dull day with a Sony. Next time I see one with the "slots from hell" type covers I'll take a picture and add it to this forum. ====> Sony engineers

Here is another example of Sony's over engineering. On this type you have to pull the bottom out and then the back cover pulls down. These clips stubbornly fit into the slots in that metal vent. I wish all manufactures would just stick with screws only, no friggin clips and crap like this guys tv. Who gives a shit what the back of the tv looks like.

Re: Remove rear panel Sony Bravia KD-65X7500F
You likely need to focus on the area between the "main portion" of the "lower half cover" that is above the portion where the speakers are housed. In the start of the video, you can see a "dimple" where there is a "push fastener anchor".... this likely represents where the "peg head's base" (ie. the male stud) which is then pushed down / seated into a female receiver in the body of the back of the panel. Looking at the "lines of flow" at the "joint", at this point, seems to indicate a "difference" at that point.... assuming the video is showing a uniform perspective but it is hard to tell if indeed that line / point between the two back plates is a actual boundary or a change in the molding.
edit... I think now I see that the "boundary" is nothing more than a changing in the "skin" of the plastic (rough to smooth) and is therefore not a point of removal / seperation. That means the you need to move down towards the speaker housing "cover". Look at the metal tab, does it flip up to reveal a screw underneath maybe?Last edited by budwich; 06-16-2020, 04:57 AM.
