When it gets stuck, bend the front plastic frame outwards until the clip detaches with a "snap". Use the flat jeweller's screwdriver and drag it along the edge from the bottom and up. The black polished frame that faces forward and surrounds the panel is attached with clips on the left, right and upper edge. The back panel had two clearly marked screws along the bottom edge. Put the monitor face-down on a gentle surface and let the project begin. It should be self-explanatory to remove: four clearly marked screws in the back.

I also do not use the original table stand, so if you do, removal of that should be prefixed to the below algorithm. You can discharge them by probing them with a voltmeter, which has the advantage of showing you the progress in decreasing voltage. Capacitors can retain voltage for several days after unplugging the system. Personally, I removed the cover and continued. Disassemblyįirst, note that the back panel has the following to say about this endeavor: I suspected blown capacitors, which should be fixable. I stopped turning the monitor off at all (including power saving mode) and had it run for another couple of weeks, until one day it turned itself off and never seemed to reach the "warmed up" state that enabled operation.Ī note is that the monitor technically showed an image that was just about visible, but the backlight would turn itself off after about a second, making the monitor quite useless. After a while it began to require a "warm up" period when powering on, where the monitor would immediately turn itself off after the first few tries before it decided to stay on. Initially it happened perhaps once every two weeks.


One day my monitor started to turn itself off during operation. replacement capacitors (component specifications are found in the text, but it is probably a good idea to check this for you particular model).soldering equipment and basic knowledge of soldering.a jeweller's screwdriver (any flat tool might suffice, probably even a dinner knife).Should also be applicable on the contemporary and more common Samsung 226BW, and probably also most LCD monitors on the market. A how-to with pictures from a reparation of a Samsung 225MW LCD monitor that suffered from bad capacitors in the power switching supply, which hindered the backlight from functioning correctly.
