I have still not even been able to continue disassembling the SyncMaster 275T because I still do not know how to continue after removing the stand. I found a Web site that claims to sell an electronic copy of the service manual for the SyncMaster 275T for at least 14 USD but I do not want to spend that much money because my income is too low and the SyncMaster 275T may be at the end of its expected life anyway Oct 11 08:51:48 because it was already used when I got it in early 2010. Oct 11 08:53:54 I can try calling Samsung customer service later today (Friday) while they are open and asking if they can provide the service manual. Oct 11 08:54:30 I'd still be around 90% confident it's caps Oct 11 09:02:38 I assume it's like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO47h-K4EiU but without the screws along the bottom? Oct 11 09:03:09 Not much information on the net about dismantling that model Oct 11 09:04:36 It not worth buying the manual IMO Oct 11 09:17:36 sixwheeledbeast: https://scontent.fyvr1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/72693214_404245307140771_904479194384171008_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_oc=AQn0QMKzD38a9QF42M6CQUaspkpw1RJNQvSIMQsM5AmxDdtOfDb3wGAbzJUaAafiC_w&_nc_ht=scontent.fyvr1-1.fna&oh=37aca3b38393d4cb593968b46564ca22&oe=5E2DCD74 Oct 11 09:28:34 https://scontent.fyvr1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/72256405_3026746014009206_1824065416540979200_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_oc=AQnF2XPlUpzEAPDE_jsZFb9vVA7gSOf7WhqUFrKpC9d40Hb5eVquzg9SnDvGhon56ws&_nc_ht=scontent.fyvr1-1.fna&oh=a3c44bb4b5d070706ae36ec2684a5753&oe=5E341E69 Oct 11 10:47:44 brolin_empey: chisel and sledgehammer might come handy when disassembling things :) Oct 11 11:01:10 Things like that have to disassemble somehow. Unless something is hermetically sealed, patience and persistence will open it. Oct 11 13:37:54 sixwheeledbeast: Honestly, I lack motivation to spend lots of time trying to open it because I have other LCD video monitors I can use as a replacement, including a 1920×1080 one but it is a really bad TN AMLCD so I am using a 1280×1024 one for now. Oct 11 13:42:12 That's fine but I recall the topic started by asking if it was repairable? Oct 11 13:50:31 Yes but then I realised that disassembling it is much easier said than done. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Oct 12 02:59:57 2019
