Removing The Asus Monitor Stand Va24d: A Step-By-Step Guide

The Asus VA24DQ is a 23.8-inch monitor with a Full HD display. It has an IPS panel, providing accurate colour reproduction and wide viewing angles. The stand can be detached for VESA wall mounting. To remove the stand, lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Pry off the plastic covers with a stiff, pointed tool to expose the screws. Remove the screws securing the monitor stand, and then remove the stand from the display.

Lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface

To remove the stand from your Asus VA24D monitor, you will need to first lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. This is an important step to ensure that you don't damage the screen or any internal components during the disassembly process.

Choose a work area that is clean, dust-free, and spacious enough for you to work comfortably. A table or desk with a smooth, flat surface is ideal. Make sure the surface is covered with a soft, clean cloth or pad. This will help protect the screen from scratches or other damage.

Once you have prepared your work area, carefully lay the monitor face down on the cloth. Ensure that the screen is centred on the cloth and that the edges of the monitor are not hanging over the edge of the table or work surface. Take care not to apply pressure to the screen as you lay it down, and be gentle to avoid scratching or scuffing the screen or casing.

With the monitor securely in place, you can now begin the process of removing the stand. This typically involves unscrewing the stand from the rear of the monitor. Before you start, make sure you have the correct tools and that you are familiar with the steps involved. You can now proceed with the knowledge that your monitor is safely positioned for the next steps.

Pry off the back plate to access the screws

To remove the stand from your Asus monitor, you'll first need to pry off the back plate to access the screws. Here's a detailed guide on how to do it:

Start by laying the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. This will give you access to the back plate and prevent any damage to the screen during the process.

Now, locate the screws that attach the stand to the monitor. Typically, there are four screws, two on each side, located on the back of the monitor near the bottom. These screws are often hidden under rubber or plastic covers. Use a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger, to pry out the covers gently. Be careful not to scratch or damage the back plate during this step.

With the covers removed, you can now access the screws. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove them. Place the screws in a safe location as you will need them again if you ever need to reattach the stand.

Once the screws are removed, you can gently pry the stand off. Be cautious and gentle during this step to avoid damaging the monitor or the stand. You may need to use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry between the monitor and the stand.

After removing the stand, you can either replace it with a new one or dispose of it according to your city's regulations. Remember to consult the user manual or the manufacturer's website for specific instructions or warnings before attempting any disassembly.

By carefully following these steps, you can safely remove the stand from your Asus monitor VA24D and avoid any damage to the equipment.

Remove the screws securing the monitor stand

To remove the screws securing the monitor stand, first disconnect the power cable and any other connected cables. Ensure the power plug is disconnected. Place the monitor face down on a flat, clean, and sturdy surface. If you want to protect the screen, lay a soft cloth or padding between the screen and the surface.

Now, locate the screws that secure the stand base to the monitor. Using a screwdriver, carefully unscrew them counterclockwise until they come off. Keep the screws in a safe place for future reassembly.

If your monitor stand has a neck, you will need to locate the screws holding the neck to the monitor and unscrew them counterclockwise. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the base away from the monitor to avoid damaging any internal parts.

Some monitor stands may have a hook that you can rotate in an anti-clockwise direction to remove the screw. If your stand has a cover, you may need to use a stiff, pointed tool, like a metal spudger, to pry out the plastic covers and reveal the screws.

Pull straight up on the bezel to release the plastic clips

To remove the bezel from your ASUS monitor, you'll need to release the plastic clips that secure it to the rear case. Here's a detailed guide on how to do this:

First, lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. This will give you access to the back of the monitor and the bezel. Next, you'll need to protect the LCD from any potential damage. To do this, lay a thin cloth over one of the long edges of the display. Make sure the cloth is large enough to cover a good portion of the display. Now, grip the side of the bezel through the cloth. It's important that you only use your fingers for this step, as using any prying tools could damage the LCD.

Pull straight up on the bezel. You need to be careful to pull straight up and not at an angle, to avoid putting pressure on the display. Pulling straight up will release the plastic clips securing the bezel to the rear case. As you pull, you should feel a few clips in the center pop free. Repeat this process for the remaining three sides of the display, pulling up on the center of each side and then moving to the next. Once you've released the clips on all four sides, the bezel will be mostly free.

Now, you'll need to deal with the corners, which are secured by two large clips each. This will require a slightly different technique. Using a thin, stiff prying device, such as a Jimmy, press in against the bottom clip in the lower left corner of the bezel, beneath the HDMI logo. While continuing to press 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 needed, or gently twist the bezel to free the remaining corners.

Lift the LCD out of the rear case

To lift the LCD out of the rear case of your ASUS VG248 monitor, you will need to have already laid the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface and removed its stand. You should also have removed the four rubbery covers that hide the four screws in the rear of the monitor, and then removed the four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws securing the monitor stand.

Now, to lift the LCD out of the rear case, follow these steps:

First, place a thin cloth over one of the long edges of the display. This will protect your fingertips and prevent smudging on the LCD. 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 only pull straight up, and not to pry against the display, as pushing down on it could cause damage.

Repeat this procedure around the display, lifting up the centre of each side in turn. Move to the other 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'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. Instead, you'll need to use a thin, stiff prying device like a Jimmy. Press in against the bottom clip in the lower left corner (beneath the HDMI logo). While pressing the clip in, pull up on the lower edge of the bezel. The entire corner should pop free.

Once you've freed one corner, you should be able to gently twist the bezel off, freeing all of the remaining corners. If any corners are particularly stubborn, repeat the previous step on that corner.

Now you can lift the LCD out of the rear case. Be careful not to damage the thin ribbon cable that attaches the row of adjustment buttons to the display. With the casing removed, you now have access to the button board, cables, and the housing over the motherboard components.
