I'm a total Nooobie to monitor repair and the directions were great, so hat's off to you guys!

My only suggestion for the next guy would be to find some instructions for getting the board out. I did a quick look through these 12 pages of posts and couldn't find any.

So here is how I did it; After I took off the three screws on the back of the pannel it took me a while to carfully release the plastic latches along the...
