Removing The Benq Monitor Stand: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you want to remove the stand from your BenQ monitor, it's important to follow the correct steps to avoid damaging your device. The process may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your BenQ monitor, but here's a general guide: Start by turning off the monitor and unplugging the power cable. Protect your monitor by clearing a flat, open area on your desk and placing a soft item like a towel to lay the screen face down on. Then, you can detach the monitor base by pushing or pressing the locking clips upward or downward. For some models, you may need to release a thumbscrew at the bottom of the monitor base. Finally, to remove the monitor stand, use a pointed object like a screwdriver to press against the release button inside a hole above the monitor stand arm, and then pull the stand backward away from the monitor.

How to Remove BenQ Monitor Stand

Prepare the monitor and area

To prepare the monitor and the area, follow these steps carefully to avoid damaging the monitor:

Firstly, turn off the monitor and unplug the power cable. Then, turn off your computer and unplug the monitor signal cable.

Now, clear a flat, open area on your desk. Place a soft item, such as a towel, on the desk to provide padding. Lay the monitor face down on this flat, clean, padded surface.

Be very careful not to place the screen on any objects, such as a stapler or mouse, as this could crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate, voiding your warranty. Similarly, sliding or scraping the monitor across your desk could scratch or damage the monitor surround and controls.

Detach the monitor base

To detach the monitor base of a BenQ monitor, follow these steps:

Step 1: Prepare the monitor and area.

Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cable. Then, turn off your computer and unplug the monitor signal cable. Clear a flat, open area on your desk and place a soft item, like a towel, on the desk to provide padding. Lay the screen face down on this clean, padded surface. Be careful not to place the screen on uneven objects, as this can damage the LCD substrate and void your warranty.

Step 2: Detach the monitor base.

Hold the monitor stand arm with one hand and push the locking clips upward with the other to detach the monitor base from the stand arm. If your screen size is 27 inches, release the thumbscrew on the bottom of the monitor base first, and then detach the base.

Step 3: Remove the monitor stand.

Insert a pointed object, such as a screwdriver, into the hole above the monitor stand arm. Push the screwdriver against the release button inside the hole and then pull the monitor stand backward, away from the monitor.

Step 4: Keep the parts safe.

If you intend to use your monitor on the stand in the future, keep the monitor base, stand, and screws somewhere safe for later use.

Remove the monitor stand

To remove the monitor stand from a BenQ monitor, follow these steps:

Firstly, prepare the monitor and the area. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cable. Then, turn off your computer and unplug the monitor signal cable. Clear a flat, open area on your desk and place a soft item, like a towel, on the desk to provide padding. Lay the monitor face down on this padded surface, being careful not to place it on top of any objects, as this could damage the screen.

Next, you need to detach the monitor base from the monitor stand arm. To do this, push or press the locking clips upward while also pulling the stand and base apart. If your monitor is 27 inches, you may need to release the thumbscrew on the bottom of the monitor base first.

Now you can remove the monitor stand. Insert a pointed object, such as a screwdriver, into the hole above the monitor stand arm and push it against the release button. Then, pull the monitor stand backward, away from the monitor.

If you intend to use the monitor stand again in the future, be sure to keep it, along with the monitor base and any screws, somewhere safe.

Avoid damaging the monitor

To avoid damaging your BenQ monitor when removing the stand, there are several precautions you should take. Firstly, ensure you have unplugged the monitor and turned it off. This is crucial for your safety and the safety of your equipment. You should also place the monitor face down on a soft, padded surface, such as a towel, to protect the screen.

Be careful not to place the monitor on any hard or sharp objects, as this could crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate, voiding your warranty. Similarly, avoid sliding or scraping the monitor on your desk, as this can cause scratches or damage to the monitor surround and controls. Before beginning the disassembly process, clear a flat, open area on your desk to prevent accidental damage to the monitor.

When detaching the stand, follow the official instructions provided by BenQ. Each monitor model may have slight variations, so having the specific instructions for your device is important. Generally, you will need to locate the attachment points, which are usually screws, and carefully unscrew them. It is important to maintain a steady hand during this process to avoid accidental damage.

Some BenQ monitor models may have additional locking mechanisms, so be sure to closely follow the instructions for your specific model. Additionally, when working with the bezel pieces, be cautious not to break the small plastic tabs that help secure the front and rear bezel pieces together.

Reassemble the monitor hardware

To reassemble the monitor hardware, follow these steps:

Firstly, ensure that you have safely placed the monitor screen on a soft cloth to prevent any scratches. Next, reconnect all the cables to the monitor, including the power cable and the cables from the PC.

Now, you can begin to reassemble the stand. First, locate the screws that attach the base to the column and use a screwdriver to secure the base to the column. Once the base is attached, you can attach the column to the monitor using screws. Ensure that all screws are tightened securely.

If your monitor has a neck stand, place the monitor on a flat surface and reattach the neck stand using the screws you removed earlier. If your monitor stand has a release button or lever, you may need to press and hold it while attaching the stand.

Finally, ensure that all cables are connected and the monitor is securely attached to the stand. Plug the monitor into the power source and turn it on to ensure it is functioning correctly.

If you are unsure about any part of the reassembly process, refer to the user manual for your specific monitor model, or seek guidance from a qualified technician.
