If you want to remove the stand from your AOpen monitor, you can do so by following these steps: first, place the monitor face-down on a stable surface and use a cloth to avoid scratching the screen. Then, depending on the model of your monitor, you may need to press down on two latches or press a plastic tab with a screwdriver to release the stand. Finally, pull the stand away from the monitor. For more specific instructions, refer to the user manual for your particular AOpen monitor model.

Place the monitor face-down on a stable surface

To remove the stand from your AOpen monitor, you'll need to carefully place the monitor face-down on a stable surface. This is an important step to ensure that you don't damage your monitor during the process of removing the stand. Here are some detailed instructions to guide you through this step:

Choose a suitable workspace: Select a clean, flat, and sturdy surface to place your monitor. Make sure there is enough space to manoeuvre and work comfortably. Cover the surface with a soft cloth or towel to prevent scratches or damage to the screen.

Prepare the monitor: Before placing the monitor face-down, power it off and disconnect all cables. Make sure the monitor is free from any dirt or debris that could potentially cause scratches when placing it down. Gently clean the screen and frame with a soft microfiber cloth if needed.

Position the monitor: Carefully lift the monitor and slowly lower it onto the prepared surface. Ensure that the screen is facing down and aligned straight, avoiding any tilting or uneven placement. Hold the monitor steady with one hand while using the other hand to gently adjust and ensure it is securely and flatly positioned.

Check for stability: Once the monitor is in place, gently let go and observe if it remains stable. The monitor should be securely positioned without any wobbling or risk of sliding. If needed, adjust the cloth or towel underneath to improve stability and ensure a snug fit.

By following these steps, you can safely place your AOpen monitor face-down on a stable surface, ready for the next steps in removing the stand. Remember to be cautious and gentle throughout the process to avoid any accidental damage to your monitor.

Use a screwdriver to press a plastic tab

To remove the stand from your AOpen monitor, you'll need to press a plastic tab with a screwdriver. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Place the monitor face-down on a stable surface, using a cloth to avoid scratching the screen. Ensure you are working on a flat, sturdy surface to avoid any damage to the monitor during the process.

Now, locate the plastic tab. It should be on the back of the monitor, where the stand connects to the monitor. It might be a small tab, so take your time to find it. Once you've located the plastic tab, grab your screwdriver.

Use the screwdriver to gently press the plastic tab. You might need to apply a small amount of force, but be careful not to break the tab. It should be pressed inward, towards the monitor. While pressing the tab, you may need to wiggle the stand gently to loosen it and begin to separate it from the monitor.

With the plastic tab pressed, continue to gently pull the stand away from the monitor. It should start to come off. If you feel resistance, double-check that you have fully pressed the plastic tab and that it hasn't slipped during the process.

Keep one hand on the screwdriver to maintain pressure on the tab and use your other hand to pull the stand away from the monitor. The stand should now be fully removable. Set the stand aside and store it safely if you plan to reuse it in the future.

Now that the stand is removed, you can proceed with any desired adjustments or modifications to your AOpen monitor. Remember to be gentle and take your time throughout the entire process to avoid damaging any parts of your monitor.

Remove the base by pressing down on two latches

To remove the base of your AOpen monitor, you will need to access the two latches on the base. These are located where the base meets the bracket of the monitor stand. Place your hands on either side of the base and feel for the latches. You may need to gently wiggle or jiggle the base to locate the exact position of the latches. Once you have located the latches, press down on both of them simultaneously. Firm, even pressure should be applied to ensure that the latches are fully depressed.

As you press down on the latches, you may feel and hear the base being released from the bracket. This mechanism is designed to securely lock the base in place, so a deliberate action is required to release it. Keep pressing down on the latches until you are sure that the base is no longer attached to the bracket. The base should now be free to be pulled away from the stand. Gently pull the base away from the monitor, ensuring that you are holding it securely to avoid any accidental damage or injury.

If you are having difficulty locating or pressing the latches, you may need to use a tool to assist you. A flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool with a thin, flat edge can be useful for pressing down on the latches. Insert the tool between the base and the bracket, and gently lever it down to press the latches. Take care not to scratch or damage the surface of the base or bracket during this process.

In some AOpen monitor models, there may be a plastic tab that needs to be pressed or manipulated with a screwdriver to detach the base. This tab may be located near the power port or VGA/HDMI ports. Refer to your specific model's user manual for detailed instructions on removing the base of your AOpen monitor.

Align the bracket with the slot at the back of the display

To align the bracket with the slot at the back of the display, start by placing the monitor face-down on a stable surface. Use a cloth to avoid scratching the screen.

Next, locate the bracket and identify the front-end. Align this front-end with the corresponding slot on the back of the display. Push the bracket firmly into the slot until you hear a click. This indicates that the bracket is correctly and securely fixed in place.

If you are unable to locate a corresponding slot, there may be a faceplate covering the area. In this case, gently pry off the faceplate to reveal the slot. Additionally, there might be a screw near the power port that needs to be removed before you can access the slot.

Once the bracket is securely in place, you can proceed to install the base onto the bracket. You should hear another click when the base is correctly attached.

Push the bracket into the slot until you hear a click

To remove the stand from an AOpen monitor, you'll need to begin by placing the monitor face-down on a stable surface, preferably with a cloth underneath to avoid scratching the screen.

Now, locate the bracket on the back of the display. You'll need to align the front-end of the bracket with the corresponding slot. Push the bracket into the slot until you hear a click. This step is important as it ensures the bracket is correctly and firmly fixed in place.

The next step is to install the base onto the bracket. You'll know the base is correctly installed when you hear another click sound. The click indicates that the base is firmly fixed to the bracket.

To remove the stand, simply press down on the two latches on the base to release it from the bracket. You can then pull the stand away from the monitor.
