remove CRT monitor cover?
I have two Dell E770s monitors. One has a less-than-crisp display, the
other just had what sounded like a capacitor flameout. It still works, but I don't exactly trust it. I'd like to cannibalize these two, to get one working unit. The monitor cover seems to be mostly snapped on. I found two screws in the lower front, and what looks like some sort of latch releases in the same area. I don't see how these operate, and I kind of doubt they'll release the whole thing anyway. Any clues about how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks, George |

finger to keyboard and composed: I have two Dell E770s monitors. Here is a service manual: http://elektrotanya.com/dell_m570_e7.../download.html If there is an FCC ID on the back cover, try the FCC database: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repor...ericSearch.cfm Sometimes there will be photographs of the disassembled unit. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

BUT, I found the manual ($2), at 'SR Manuals', http://servicerepairmanuals.net/ George Why pay anything when you can have it from ET for free, as Franc suggested ? As to getting them apart, many of these monitors had two concealed clips at the top. You have to know exactly where to insert a pry-tool into the gap between the CRT bezel, and the main case. Once you are in at the right place, the clip is levered down, which releases it from a corresponding latch moulded in the back cover. Pulling back at the same time releases the section that you are prying. You then repeat at the other spot 8 or 9 inches away. When that has been released, the top of the cabinet will come away from the bezel. Unfortunately, that's often not the end of it though. With some varieties, you then need to put some thick foam or whatever onto the bench, lay the monitor on its face, then put your arms around it, lift it up, and shake until the rest of it comes away. Brutal sounding, I know, but that's the way it's done ... Arfa |
