Help, removing a wall mount TV
Bought this house and we included the wall mounted TV (~19") in the bedroom
as part of the offer to purchase. I purchased a wireless headphone so my wife can watch TV while I sleep. I can't figure out how to unmount the TV from the wall mount so I can attach the audio cables for the wireless headset. It has a canvas type cord that drops down and releases a latch on one side. I have tried pulling the release and sliding it left or right; pulling it from the bottom and lifting; just lifting; the fricking thing just won't let go. No set screws visible that I could loosen to unlatch it. It's mounted so close to the wall, I can't see anything. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks, |

I have one that has an Allen wrench screw to dismount it. It is on the
round swing left/right part. I have no canvas cord though. I bet the owners could not figure it out. |

Thanks, I have what may be a similar type mount for a much larger TV, there are two vertical brackets on the back and at the bottom of each there is a catch that needs to be released so that the bottom may be swung away from the wall. Then you lift the whole display up and off the rail near the top of the brackets on which the brackets are hanging. So I am wondering if maybe there's a second cord hidden somewhere (or has fallen off?) Mine is easier because it's not hanging from a wall but a freestanding stand/console thing, I just pull it away from the wall :P hope this helps, nate |

There's a bracket that attaches to the wall and a bracket (maybe 2, as in a matching pair) that are attached to the TV itself. Maybe looking at where the TV-side brackets hang on the wall bracket might give you a clue. Good luck! |

Like N8N, I have one that has two cords that dangle below the two vertical mounting brackets. You pull them to release the catch and pull out slightly on the bottom of the TV. That gives you room to reach the cables. To remove the TV, you then lift it up about 1/2", as it basicly hanging on the brackets. Sounds like you've found one cord, and there probably is a second one on the other side. |

Rather than strain her eyes, use a pry bar if need be to scrap the tiny TV and buy a 32" for $300 or less. She will thank you profusely and you won't want to sleep. |

That sure isn't the mounting in the pic in your link. And I'm betting with Derby that it's flat panel. |

Thanks, Those screws may go into keyhole (the old skeleton key style) holes in the mounting plate. They must be loosened, then the plate lifted about half an inch until the big part of the keyhole aligns with the head of the fastener. Then it pulls straight out. If that's not it, good luck. Have someone hold the thing while you remove the fasteners. Steve |

Thanks, Last month, me and the guys had to mount four 42" flat panel TV/computer displays in a couple of large retail stores. Two at each store with one on a CMU wall and the other on a sheet rock wall. There is a flat horizontal strip with raised edges mounted to the wall for the bracket on the back on the TV to hook on to. The set is secured with two finger latches attached to two long flat pieces of metal that engage the bottom lip of the metal strip mounted to the wall. If you look behind the set, you will see a flat metal finger that moves the flat locking plate when you pull the finger (no pun) down causing the locking plate to disengage from the wall bracket. You can then lift the TV off the wall bracket. It looked like the most common design out there and may resemble what you have. TDD |

I see said the blind man! Yes, there was a second release cord on the other side but it was wound up around the coax and I didn't see it. My wife pulled the two cords and I lifted it off the wall. Thanks people! In between the bullsh*t, this group is a very handy resource! |

Once I got a set with 15 sizes, I think I had enough sizes. Also there is metric and English. I have no idea if any use Allen wrenches or not. I have not really looked at that many commercial brackets, mine are usually home made but usually the ones I see have a spring loaded catch that holds the TV to the bottom rail and it just hooks over the top rail. Some have string bobs you pull, others have a little tab you push. Either way you tilt the bottom out and it is still hanging from the top if you don't tilt it too far. You can jam a piece of cardboard between the bottom rail and the clamp so it doesn't lock up while you walk around front to get a good grip on it. Then just lift it off Be sure all of the cables are disconnected and out of the way so you don't get hung up. |

Have someone hold the thing while you remove the fasteners. Steve I do not have the tool that is required to fit into the hole to unlock the bracket. I have tried all the allen wrenches I own and nothing works. Any suggestions? I wonder how old this message is, considering prodigy.net has been gone since around 2009. |

Have someone hold the thing while you remove the fasteners. Steve I do not have the tool that is required to fit into the hole to unlock the bracket. I have tried all the allen wrenches I own and nothing works. Any suggestions? First, depending on how old this is, it may be so heavy it requires two people, two men, to hold it up. I helped a guy mount one of those, but I don't remember what year it was. More than 6 years ago. Secondly, does it really take an Allen wrench? A hexagon hole? If so, there are sets and bigger sets. Once I got a set with 15 sizes, I think I had enough sizes. Also there is metric and English. I have no idea if any use Allen wrenches or not. Mine does. The two braces that attach to the TV have "hooks" at the top and bottom. Once you hang the TV on the mount with the top hooks and swing the bottom of the TV in, the bottom hooks go under the bottom rail of the mount so that the TV can't be lifted (or bumped) up (and off) unless you swing the bottom out. Then, to prevent the bottom of the TV from swinging out, there are 2 large Allen head bolts that go through the top of the mount and contact the top of the braces on the TV. Once those bolts are tightened against the braces, the top of the TV can't go in, so the bottom can't swing out. |

Another option would be to post the model number of the mount. |

I looked and did not find it. However, it seems that all posts from (Some Name) are replays. Probably from "Homeowners Hub". I'm not sure what the point is, except to keep usenet alive. Seems to make little sense to reply to most of them, because there is no REAL OP.... But a few of them may help someome, I suppose! |

I appreciate all the responses. However, as I mentioned, I do not have the tool or key to unlock the bracket. I do not believe it is a hex or requires an allen wrench. I have a professional TV installer coming to uninstall current TV and re-install new TV. Hopefully, he will have the tool needed. -- |
