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

Removing a monitor stand can be challenging, but it's not impossible. This article will give you the best tips for removing various kinds of monitor stands on your own. The task of removing a monitor stand is not as simple as it seems. It is important to be careful when switching to a stand-free setup due to the way PC screens are manufactured. In this age of wall-mounted and desk-mounted computer monitor screens, most people opt for the latter. Additionally, they wish to reattach the screen onto a monitor arm or laptop and monitor stand, which gives them more flexibility and attempts to remove it from its stand.

How to open the monitor stand

To open the monitor stand, you must first remove all cables connected to the monitor. Ensure that the monitor is turned off and that the power plug is disconnected. Place the monitor on a soft cloth to prevent scratching the screen.

Next, you will need to open the computer case by unscrewing the bolts from the back. You can then remove the cover from the screen. Untangle the cables from the stand.

Now, to open the monitor stand, you need to unscrew the screws on the base of the stand. After removing the screws, you can lift the stand.

Some monitors may have a vertical stand attached directly or through a holder on the back. If there is a holder, you may need to remove a back panel to access the vertical stand. Refer to the user manual to understand how your monitor is connected to the stand.

If there are no screws holding the vertical stand, look for buttons near or on the stand. On some monitors, such as Dell and Acer, you may need to press a dedicated button to remove the vertical stand. If it does not easily come out, try applying a small amount of mechanical oil to the joints.

If there are no screws or buttons, you may be able to gently pull the vertical stand away from the monitor. Be sure to hold the monitor by its sides, not the screen, when doing this.

Detaching the vertical stand

To detach the vertical stand, first check if there are any connections in the vertical part of the triple monitor desk mount base. There is likely a connection between this section and the vertical stand holder, but some monitors may not include this feature.

Monitors with vertical stands are sometimes directly attached to the monitor, while others are attached to a holder on the back. Refer to the user manual to find out how the monitor is connected to the stand.

If there are no screws holding the vertical stand, check for buttons near or on the vertical stand, as some monitors like Dell and Acer require you to press a dedicated button to remove the stand. Pull the stand outwards by pressing the button. If it still does not come out, try putting a little mechanical oil on the joints.

If the stand does not have any screws or buttons, you may be able to remove it by gently pulling the vertical stand away from the monitor. Be sure to hold the monitor by its sides firmly and not by its screen.

Removing vertical holders

Some monitors, such as Dell and Acer, require you to press a dedicated button to remove the vertical stand. Press the button and pull the stand outwards. If it does not come out of the monitor, try putting a little mechanical oil on the joints to see if it will budge.

To remove the holder that connects the vertical stand, there might be a back panel that needs to be detached. Because this component is mounted inside the monitor, it may not be possible to remove it without disassembling it. If you are unsure about disassembling it, please take your monitor to a local electronic repair shop.
