Opening An Asus Ve279h Monitor: Step-By-Step Guide

If you need to open your ASUS VE278H monitor, you will first need to lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Then, use a stiff, pointed tool, like a metal spudger, to pry out the four rubber covers that are hiding screws in the rear of the monitor. Next, remove the four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws that secure the monitor stand. After that, you can remove the stand from the display. The display bezel is held to the rear case by plastic clips that can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel with your fingers. A thin cloth will protect your fingertips and the display. Repeat this process for all four sides of the display, and then for the corners, which are secured by two large clips.

Removing the monitor stand

To remove the monitor stand from your ASUS VE2H88 monitor, follow these steps:

Step 1: Remove the Base

Lay the monitor face down on a clean, smooth surface. Place a cloth underneath the screen to prevent any scratches. Look closely at the base bottom surface and you will find a screw. Using a screwdriver, remove the screw by turning it counterclockwise. Now, remove the base plate from the vertical stand.

Step 2: Remove the Vertical Stand

After removing the base, check if the vertical stand is connected to a point. Some monitor stands are connected to the monitor, in which case you will need to remove the back part of the monitor to access the vertical stand.

For example, the ASUS MX239 monitor's vertical stand is connected to the monitor. To remove it, first take out the base, then remove the two screws on the back of the monitor and take off the back cover. You will then see three screws; remove these with a screwdriver and take out the vertical stand.

If you have an ASUS ROG monitor, first remove the base and then look at the back of the monitor. You will find a circular plastic cover; remove this with a screwdriver. Underneath the cover, there will be four screws that you can take out, allowing you to remove the vertical stand.

Another type of vertical stand has no screws. In this case, gently pull it down to remove it.

Step 3: Remove the Connector or Vertical Stand Holder

Finally, to remove the connector or vertical stand holder, you will need to take off the back panel of the monitor. Remove the screws from the back of the monitor and gently lift out the back panel. Remove any remaining screws and take out the connector from the back panel.

Now you have successfully removed the stand from your ASUS VE2H88 monitor.

Unscrewing the screws at the bottom

To open an Asus monitor, you will need to begin by laying the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. This is an important step to ensure you do not damage the screen during the process of opening up the monitor.

Now, turn your attention to the four rubbery covers at the rear of the monitor. Underneath these covers are the screws you will need to unscrew. To reveal the screws, use a stiff, pointed tool, like a metal spudger, to carefully pry out the plastic covers. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you do not want to damage the plastic or the surrounding components.

Once the covers are removed, you will see four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws. These screws are securing the monitor stand in place. Using the appropriate screwdriver, carefully unscrew these four screws. It is important to keep track of the screws and not misplace them, as you will need them again when reassembling the monitor.

With the screws removed, you can now carefully remove the stand from the display. Gently pull the stand away from the display, being mindful of any cables that may be attached. Set the stand aside in a safe place, ensuring that it does not roll or fall and cause damage.

Now that the stand has been removed, you have successfully unscrewed the screws at the bottom of your Asus VE278H monitor. The next steps would involve removing the display bezel and accessing the internal components of the monitor. Remember to keep your workspace organised and to follow a systematic approach to ensure a smooth reassembly process.

Unclipping the front edge of the screen

To unclip the front edge of the screen of your Asus VE278H monitor, you must first lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Cover the table with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the monitor.

You will notice four rubbery covers hiding four screws in the rear of the monitor. Use a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger, to pry out the plastic covers. Remove the four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws securing the monitor stand.

Now, remove the stand from the display. The display bezel is held to the rear case by plastic clips. These clips can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel with your fingers. Avoid using any prying tools that could damage the LCD. Instead, use a thin cloth to protect your fingertips and prevent smudging the LCD.

Lay the cloth over one of the long edges of the display. Grip the side of the bezel through the cloth and lift straight up—a few clips in the centre will pop free. Be careful to pull straight up and not pry against the display. Pushing down on the display could cause damage.

Repeat this procedure for the remaining three sides. Move to the opposite long side and lift up on the centre of the bezel. Then, grip the centre of the final side and lift the bezel away from the rear case.

Now that you have freed the centres of all four sides, you can move on to the corners. Each corner is secured by two large clips that cannot be freed by simply pulling straight up as you did with the sides.

Removing the cable for the buttons and light sensor

To remove the cable for the buttons and light sensor on your ASUS VE2H88 monitor, you will first need to lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Next, use a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger, to pry out the four rubber covers that are hiding the screws in the rear of the monitor. Remove the four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws that secure the monitor stand. Then, remove the stand from the display.

The display bezel is attached to the rear case by plastic clips. To remove it, pull straight up on the bezel with your fingers or a thin cloth. Be careful not to use any prying tools that could damage the LCD. Start at the top centre, then move to the sides, and finish at the bottom. Pull the plastic edge slightly towards the outside and then pull it loose.

Now, you will need to focus on the corners. Each corner is secured by two large clips that cannot be released by simply pulling straight up. Using a thin, stiff prying device, press in against the bottom clip in the lower left corner (under the HDMI logo). While pressing the clip in, pull up on the lower edge of the bezel. The entire corner should pop free. Repeat this process for the remaining corners if necessary.

With the bezel removed, you will have access to the internals of the monitor, including the cable for the buttons and light sensor. Take care not to damage any cables or components while working inside the monitor.

Prying out the plastic covers

To begin, lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. There are four rubbery covers that hide four screws in the rear of the monitor. Pry out the plastic covers with a stiff pointed tool, like a metal spudger. Be sure to apply a bit of strength to separate the cover, but not too much as you don't want to damage the plastic. It's best to start at the bottom, near the buttons, as it is easier.

Then, slide every 5-6 cm, which is the space between the grips. Remove the cable for the buttons and the light sensor. Once you've removed the plastic cover, the frame can be removed quite easily. You can then choose to paint the frame the way you want.

Next, remove the four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws securing the monitor stand. Remove the stand from the display. The display bezel is held to the rear case by plastic clips that can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel. Rather than use any prying tools that could damage the LCD, it's best to just pull with your fingers. A thin cloth will both protect your fingertips and prevent you from smudging the LCD.

Lay the cloth over one of the long edges of the display. Grip the side of the bezel through the cloth and lift straight up. A few clips in the centre will pop free. Be careful to pull straight up, and not to pry against the display. Pushing down on the display could damage it. Repeat the procedure around the display, lifting up the centre of each side.

Now, move to the other long side and lift up on the centre of the bezel. Grip the centre of the final side and lift the bezel away from the rear case. Now that you've freed the centres of the four sides, it's time to move on to the corners. Each corner is secured by two large clips that can't be freed by just pulling straight up like you did with the sides.
